Dear friend Odumchi. I note that in many pictures and many people, predominantly necklaces (and other ornaments) orange and made from the same material. Is it a coincidence? Either that means anything? |

Ptolomeus: Dear friend Odumchi. Orange and red are the typical colors of beads and necklaces in Eastern Nigeria. In the olden days, only wealthy people could afford them and they were usually worn as status symbols. That attitude to necklaces and beads is still present today, although they aren't as much of a status symbol today as they were before since, nowadays, they are more affordable. 1 Like |

odumchi:Thank you for your clear explanation dear friend. I figured it was no coincidence! As always you are very kind, and I apologize for my questions, but learn about the traditions is something exciting. Thank you! |

odumchi: they seem to be more affordable cos what we find every where is made of plastic and other cheap materials. but the good old ivory is still a symbol of wealth afforded only by the rich 1 Like |
