This is a hand beaded piece, so the bead rows and the exact placement of the colours vary a little from one headpiece to the next and yours will not match the photograph bead for bead. Screen settings change how the colours read. The listing carries one photograph, taken from the front and slightly above; ask us for a side or back view before buying if you need one.
Beaded headpieces of this kind are worn for ceremony among the Maasai of Kenya and northern Tanzania, where beadwork is the everyday language of dress and the choice of colour is never random. Red stands for bravery and unity and for the blood of the cattle the Maasai keep. White is peace and health, from the cow's milk the family drinks. Blue is the sky that brings the rain, green the pasture that follows it, black the people themselves and the hardships they come through, and orange and yellow are the colours of welcome. Reading the rows on this band is reading a sentence.

A Maasai beaded headpiece worked in glass seed beads, with a structured beaded band, straps that cross over the crown and two fine metal chains that fall at the side. It is made for occasion wear rather than every day: weddings, naming ceremonies, cultural events, dance and photography, and it sits over braided or gathered hair. The beadwork runs in narrow horizontal rows of red, white, black, orange, blue, green and yellow. The rows are worked over fine wire, which is why the band holds its round shape instead of collapsing when you pick it up, and it is the part of the making that takes the longest. The straps that cross the crown are beaded on both faces and meet at a small beaded button at the top, which is also how the piece fastens. Two lengths of silver tone chain hang from the band with a small disc at the end. The maker gives the size as 45cm. Materials are glass beads, beading thread, fine wire, buttons and metal chain. Store it flat or on a stand so the band keeps its shape. Keep it away from perfume and hairspray, and clean it with a dry soft brush only.
