The rich tradition of Maasai beadwork traces its roots back centuries, gaining global recognition in the 19th century through trade with neighbouring tribes.

Did you know? Unmarried females adorn themselves with large, flat beaded discs around their necks when dancing, symbolizing grace and flexibility. On her wedding day, a bride wears an intricate, heavily beaded neckpiece. After marriage, she dons a long necklace adorned with blue beads. Those of higher social status often opt for more vibrant and colorful beadwork, reflecting their elevated standing in the community.
