This print captures the essence of African culture through the striking image of a Maasai woman adorned in traditional attire. The focal point of her ensemble is an exquisite beaded necklace, meticulously crafted with white glass beads that symbolize her affiliation with the Kisongo section of the Maasai tribe. As the largest clan group residing on both sides of the Kenya-Tanzania border, their distinctive ornaments are instantly recognizable. The ornamental beauty displayed by this tribeswoman reflects a rich heritage and deep-rooted traditions.
