Abstract

The aim of this article is to demonstrate the artistic conventions of a historical beadwork style among the Zulu living in the Msinga district of Natal, and to try to define the extent of individual variation that these conventions allow. Style, in this context, is taken to mean the combinations of colors and patterns that characterize the beadwork of a region.
