Résumé :

The East African pastoralists are well known for their colorful and decorative beaded adornments, and their strong adherence to beads in contrast to the westernized clothing culture of other neighboring agricultural peoples. “Warriors” standing with spears and elaborative beaded adornments all over the bodies, and women with many beaded necklaces piled from shoulder to chin are always featured in brochures and postcards for tourists as well as in photo collections introducing Africa, and they create the image of “traditional Africa” represented by the “Maasai.”
