Maasai Beadwork

A collection of intricate beadwork by the skillful hands of Maasai women. The Maasai culture is renowned for their handmade beaded jewelry, traditionally the beadwork is made by women and worn by both men and women, reflecting their age and social status. The colours used all have a meaning and tell their own tale. The 150 Hadithi beaders all live in small manyatta's (homesteads) next to the Mombasa highway and Tsavo national park.
