Maasai -Orange

Maasai-5: ( I Heart Kenya Collection) - I have always admired Maasai beadwork, including their traditional designs and use of bright colors. Maasai beadwork embodies the whole of Maasai culture representing beauty, strength, tradition, warriorhood, marriage, age sect, marital status, social status and their deep love and devotion for their cattle.
