Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This report on Zulu beadwork, in the Mtunzini District
represents the first phase of a larger project aimed at inventorying and comparing Zulu
beadwork throughout the Zulu area. The author interviewed a number of Zulu beadworkers,
especially concerning articles of beadwork he purchased from them. Much Zulu beadwork is
color coded to convey messages and a portion of the article is devoted to a discussion of
color symbolism and message interpretation. The bulk of the article is devoted to
descriptions of beaded articles which the author has classified according to the part of
the body on which the article is worn.
