Description

Bridal Apron (Jocolo or Itshogolo) Ndebele people, South Africa

The itshogolo is worn by a woman for the first several months of marriage and afterwards for ceremonial occasions. Her husband prepares the goatskin, with its distinctive rounded flaps, but the woman may add beads later. Alternatively, a woman's mother-in-law may present her with a beaded itshogolo. The flaps have varied interpretations, and are said to represent the children desired in marriage, or the mother and her children, or even the number of cattle paid for bride price. White is the traditionally preferred colour for these aprons, as seen in the solid field of white beading in the older examples. The small coloured motif of a modern dwelling complete with electric lights, windows, doors and pitched roof indicates the importance of home and family for the Ndebele as well as the desire for a modern lifestyle. This apron measures 55cm /21.5" long , 50cm / 20"; wide Circa 1950's Has 2 extra tiny side fingers to show that she is second or third wife. Small tuft of goat hair protruding from the belt. Beaded on goat skin. SOLD
