The Ndebele are one of the most colorful people in all of Africa. They paint their homes in bright geometric patterns and adorn themselves with intricate beadwork. A jocolo is a five panelled apron worn only by a married woman to celebrate her success in having borne children. Jocolos are worn on important ceremonial occasions.
Often the central panel is longer and is referred to as UMAMA, described as the 'mother to the children'.
Priced as-is, as the top portion of the skirt is missing.
