INITIATION DOLL
These accurate replicas of traditional Ndebele
stumes are made by female initiates to show that
they now know how to make the traditional
costume of an adult woman.
Blankets probably took the place of the skin capes.
The heavily beaded apron (Mapoto), metal leggings
and necklaces are symbols of marriage and wealth.
