Tumbili Dog Collar

Hand-beaded by a Maasai women's collective in Kenya. Made with Kenyan leather, glass beads and a brass buckle.

Each color of these beaded works represents a symbolic value in Maasai culture: traditionally white signifies purity, blue symbolizes energy and represents the sky, green represents the land and health, yellow and orange represent hospitality and warmth, while black represents the people, and red, their bravery and strength. 

Note: each collar is individually handmade, so they may vary slightly from the images.
