This particular sub-collection, part of the Walter Sisulu University Beadwork Collection, features exquisite beaded artefacts that are deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the AmaBomvana people, a prominent subgroup of the isiXhosa-speaking communities. The AmaBomvana traditionally inhabit a picturesque region bordered by the Mthatha River and the Mbashe River to the Indian Ocean, with the town of Mqanduli serving as a central hub within their territory. Notable landmarks that enhance their cultural landscape include the stunning Coffee Bay, celebrated for its breathtaking coastal scenery, and the iconic Hole-in-the-Wall, a natural rock formation that exemplifies the area's unique geological history. This collection not only showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the AmaBomvana but also serves as an important link to their cultural identity and historical significance.
