This is a bracelet made of
silver. The bracelet is manufactured with the use of chain mail technique (see fig 1). This is a design that derives from the milestone (Inkwenkwe). On the notion of a boy at
a stage where he has to look after his father’s livestock, he needs a tool to fulfill
that task, and a whip is the tool a boy use to look after livestock. The design process evolved to create
a bracelet that address the aspects of the boys' milestone, the intricate chain mail design (see fig 1) represent
the carefree spirit of a boy and also a big responsibility he has.
