naisten ja miesten vyötärökoru mutta kun tämä helmi on hyvin kallis, nimitt. yksi tämmönen nauha maksaa elukan noin 40 Smk:n paikoin, niin sitä on ainoastaan rikkailla ja kuninkaalla, joka niillä vaimojansa koristaa. Miehet kantavat näitä harvoin enämmän kun yhden nauhan, vaan vaimot sitävasten saavat usein miehiltään kymmenin nauhoin lanteillensa. ndongalaiset This jewellery is used by both men and women around their waist but, as this pearl is very valuable, meaning that one thread like this costs an animal, about 40 Finnish marks, it is only possessed by wealthy people and the kings, who decorate their wives with it. Men rarely carry more than one thread, but wives on the other hand often get tens of them for their waist from their husbands. |
