Description: The necklace in question, which is described as the keeper of the heart “Isigcina ntliziyo”, comprises a necklace adorned with a flat, tab-bead fringe. At the core of this intricately beaded necklace, a tab prominently features a design of a female figure. This piece is crafted with a remarkable level of skill, utilising sinew, indicative of its considerable age. The depiction is purportedly that of a man's spouse, adding a layer of personal and cultural significance to the work. This object serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and sentimental values of the society from which it originates.
