 Notes
Abstract: Although western dress is the normal attire of Zulu men, for special occasions some choose to wear “traditional” elaborately decorated calfskin leather garments. This beaded apron or ibeshu is a reflection of a blending of traditional and contemporary Zulu life in that it is made of leather that was recycled from an old bus seat and the colorful beaded adornments on the edges and flap reflects the modern style of beadworking called isimodeni. Isimodeni is not based on the older color sequencing that formed a coded language, but it may convey personal meanings derived from the older sequences.
