African loincloth / Fali cover-up from Cameroon BP106

Beautiful beaded and shell loincloth. These aprons were worn by women of the Fali ethnic group from the Mandara Mountains of Northern Cameroon for special occasions as part of a traditional costume. The designs are said to indicate marital status and clan affiliations. Each apron is woven onto a handle by a bead weaver, and great care is given to each piece. Aprons from the same clan or village have similar designs. The designs serve as a tribal emblem, and the triangular motifs are said to be feminine symbols.
