- Description
- The pipe belonging to a young bridegroom from AbaThembu cultural group, specifically from the Qebe location, is a striking piece of craftsmanship. Its handmade pipe stem is adorned with intricate beadwork in vibrant shades of green, navy blue, white, red, and turquoise. Each colour carries its significance; for instance, the green beads symbolize new life and freshness, reflecting the hopeful beginnings of marriage. The overall design, embellished with alternating patterns of white, navy, red, green, and turquoise blue, creates a beautiful and meaningful representation of the bridegroom's heritage and the joyous occasion of his union.
