Object description

Gröna glasringar uppträdda på mönstrad bomullsremsa, knytna i ändarna.

Midjebälten som detta tillverkas och bärs av gifta kvinnor under skördetiden samt när de dansar kilumedansen. Ngako fick detta 1964 av en äldre, kvinnlig släkting. Enligt Ngako ärde gröna pärlorna mycket gamla och köptes en gång i tiden från arabiska handelsmän. Håkan Wahlquist, museets asienintendent, bekräftar att glaspärlorna sannolikt har asiatiskt ursprung. De kan vara från områden runt Persiska viken eller kanske från Etiopien där handelsströmmar passerade i gamla tider.

Del av Ngakos dansdräkt, jfr. 1984.8.55-67.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
