African Mask Jewellery

The best icon for Ubuntu, or the practise of giving of ones self to those around you, has to be Nyaminyami. This touching African myth about a snake like being who gives of his own body to those around him. What makes this myth all the more potent, is the fact that in many African cultures, and western cultures, the snake represents evil, and is feared. Along comes this myth about how much the people loved nyaminyami – and it goes back to the giving. Great symbol for Ubuntu. Other great symbols are African masks - tribal jewellery has always held special significance in the minds of African people.
