Di!ai's ornamental headband and bracelets
Beadwork complimented ostrich egg shell beads when trade beads started circulating. Glass beads are, now, strongly associated with the cultural identity of Namibia’s San communities. A photograph of Di!ai, a member of the Ju/’Hoansi community, taken in 1951 shows Di!ai's ornamental headband and bracelets (Peabody Museum, Photo PM2001.29.13700).
