Primitive Jewellery / Money: Original Ovambo Ekipa from Namibia
According to an internet source: "Ekipas were once the jewels of the Owambo aristocracy. Today they are sought-after articles for African tribal art collectors. A woman wore the ekipa as a sign of esteem and royalty. The number of ekipas displayed conveyed her status in the community and gave an indication of the wealth of her family. The artefacts were worn on special occasions such as fertility feasts, weddings and funerals. There is also evidence the ekipa was used as money".
