When we traveled to a village an 85 year old late put on her traditional clothing for us. The part that interested me the most was her neckace. They receive this part of the outfit when they get married and the beads signify wealth. The picture on the silver is very interesting. It looks kind of like a monster, but I could not find a head, and then there are little things that look kind of like skulls. I was wondering if the picture told a story, but I could not get them to identify any significance to it. This jewelry is different from the silver in the other village we visited.
