- A narrow circular beaded flat tab neckband in white, green, navy, and orange is worn around the neck by Bomvana young and adult women. It includes two bands of vibrant pink and one in captivating turquoise blue; each delicately edged in white 'amaso' beads. Among isiXhosa-speaking cultural groups, this wide-collar neckband is revered as a symbol of heritage and identity.
