Xhosa men wear wraparound skirts that run down from the waist to the feet. They throw a long scarf over one shoulder, which also serves as a cloak when it gets cold. They wear headdresses made from beads or cloth, depending on the customs of their tribes. According to Broster j, 2008 “no matter how poor the home every man, (see fig 2) woman, and the child wears at least one example of their art, wear a necklace or a headband with an appreciation of its beauty and a keen awareness of its rituals and traditional significance. (Broster, 2008)
