Among the Turkana, beaded jewellery is worn from childhood and carries meaning tied to age and stage of life, gifted and added to gradually as a girl grows. What's pictured here reflects that practice, worn as everyday adornment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLake Turkana itself lies within Kenya's Rift Valley and is the world's largest permanent desert lake, known locally and to visitors as the Jade Sea for the turquoise colour of its water. The Turkana are a Nilotic people native to its shores, with a strong tradition of craftsmanship carried in their beadwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.0608%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(119, 106, 88); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.0261%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(20, 19, 16); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eTurkana Jewellery - KANA Collection 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.0608%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(119, 106, 88); vertical-align: top;\"\u003ePhotographer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.0261%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(20, 19, 16); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eDavid Ballam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.0608%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(119, 106, 88); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eSubject\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.0261%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(20, 19, 16); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eTurkana beaded collar, close crop, Lake Turkana, Kenya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.0608%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(119, 106, 88); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.0261%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(20, 19, 16); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eBlack and white canvas print, gallery wrapped, ready to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.0608%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(119, 106, 88); vertical-align: top;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.0261%; padding: 8px 0px; color: rgb(20, 19, 16); vertical-align: top;\"\u003e47in x 31.5in (horizontal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy you'll love it:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA striking piece of African wall art in black and white, with real cultural depth behind it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGallery wrapped for a clean, ready to hang finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA close, intimate crop that rewards a longer look, not a decorative motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal orientation at 47in x 31.5in, built to anchor a room as a statement piece of African home decor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover Turkana Jewellery - KANA Collection 12 by David Ballam.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Ballam","offers":[{"title":"47 x 31.5 in \/ Turkana Jewellery - KANA Collection 12 is collected for its intimacy drawing the eye to detail that a wider portrait would miss.","offer_id":43367806402637,"sku":null,"price":1289.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/7456\/9293\/files\/Kana-12-david-ballam-september-collective_2.png?v=1786798367","url":"https:\/\/www.septembercollective.com\/products\/turkana-jewellery-kana-collection-12","provider":"September Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
