Symbolism:
Every nation has its own rituals and colours. Red is an important colour for the Masai. It is the colour of blood, and the life. The women wear thick rings around their necks. When the girls are five years old, they get the first five rings. Every four years they gain five rings. Because of these many heavy rings their shoulderblades are pushed down a little further, which makes it seem like they have a very long neck. The ultimate beauty ideal for the Masai. As everywhere in the world, the specially-fitted jewelery do not only show the beauty of the woman, but also her social status.
The Unica of this series is on display at the National Glass Museum Leerdam
