Oval Black Bone Disc Earrings
Product Code: 11.02.6475
These handcrafted earrings in white metal with a bone oval disc have been made by artisans working with Bombolulu in Kenya.
In African societies across history, jewellery represented the wealth of the wearer. In some parts of Africa, a person's wealth is also measured by the amount of livestock they own so when livestock is used for food, every part of the animal is used including the bones. If a person is wearing many pieces of bone jewellery, this is seen as a sign of wealth.
