Up for sale is a striking piece of vintage African tribal folk art: a hand-beaded cattle horn, intricately decorated by Zulu or Ndebele artisans of Southern Africa.
​This piece features a natural curved horn entirely encased in a dense, masterfully woven mesh of vibrant glass seed beads. The beadwork showcases traditional, bold geometric patterns featuring a stark white background accented with rows of cobalt blue, emerald green, sunflower yellow, orange, red, and black. the flat base of the horn features a beautifully executed concentric wheel design, and a fully integrated, matching beaded carrying strap extends from the base to the pointed tip

Purchased from an estate that had been sealed for years. I've dusted the items but they could use additional cleaning. The former owners were world travelers and this is one of the many pieces of memorabilia they collected. Photos show accurate condition and any flaws Please examine them carefully.
