  2. Zulu is a tribe in Africa In South Africa Zulus are the largest population group. Their traditional home is in Zululand which is a place in Natal.

  3. Zulus The women wear isicholo, a wide hat made of straw and decorated with beads (ubuhlalu)

  4. ~~Beadwork~~ Significance: Beadwork is made by the women where they send it to the man they like and they would wear it around their necks. In the beadwork each color represents something for example: White: Love Black: Mourning, loneliness and disappointment Pink: Poverty Green: Lovesickness or jealousy Blue: Loyalty Red: Tears and desire Yellow: Wealth Striped beads: Doubt Men usually wear the beadwork to show that they are involved with women they might marry. It is also a way for the women and men to communicate avoiding them to talk.

  5. ~~Masks~~ In Africa masks can be traced back to well past Paleolithic times. These art objects were, and are still made of various materials, included are leather, metal, fabric and various types of wood And they range in size from 16 inches to 8. 'Secret Masks’ The Zulu people call some of their masks "secret masks" because legend says that they hold the secrets of the people near the mask. To use the mask, the Zulu whisper their deepest secrets to the mask -- those secrets considered too precious or dangerous to tell any other member of the tribe. Unfortunately for the secret-teller, if the secret mask falls into the wrong hands, those secrets might come out.
