indlwana neck piece.

This is an Indlwana (birds nest) neckpiece made of silver an oval colored cabochon. 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 spends most of his time in the wild. The design process evolved to create a neckpiece that address the aspects of the boy finding a birds nest (see fig 1) and looking after it, the cabochon represent the birds' egg (see fig 2 )and the silver design represent the birds' nest that holds a birds egg ( see fig 3).
