Ostrich Shell and Olodo Bracelet
Ostrich Shell and Red Maasai Tribe Beads make a dynamic duo! The San Bushmen of the Kalahari have used Ostrich Shell for many centuries. As a matter of fact, Ostrich Shell is the oldest material used for jewelry known to man; dating far back as to the African Middle Stone age. “Ostrich Shell is known as “The Pearl of the Kalahari.
The Maasai people of Kenya have created beaded jewelry for centuries as well. The Massai have used most materials in their environment to make jewelry and within the last century or so glass has become the most popular.
To the Maasai Tribe certain colors are symbolic with Red being most pronounced. The color Red (Olodo) to the Maasai represents: Courage, Bravery, and Unity because it symbolizes Blood. The cow is at the center of Maasai Culture. When the Maasai come together for meetings a cow is slain therefore unity is associated with Red. Furthermore the color White (Oloiborr)in Maasai culture, represents: Purity, Peace, and especially Health. The pure White color of milk from cows is associated with Health; for it is the drink that keeps the people healthy and strong.
