Muthi bottles


This married is wearing a beaded necklace made in the umzansi style at Muden. In this case the small bottles are used for mecinal and decorative use.( Morris J 1994: Speaking with beads)

I know that I've gone on and on about a muthi bottle but haven't shown how is has been used and who would use it. This one has a beaded cover that support its weight and to make it blend in with the rest of the beadwork.
