Multi-Strand Heritage Necklace Ensemble - Maasai Layers of Lineage – 'Enkátá Oltau' (Gathering Ground).

Contain lineage. Weave convergence. Ground ancestral rhythm. This sculptural necklace ensemble draws from the Maasai concept of Oltau—gathering ground, where adornment becomes ritual and layering becomes story. It’s a ceremonial offering of tactile heritage, terrain symbolism, and visual breath.

Composed of four distinct strands, each necklace speaks a different ancestral tongue:

• Topmost strand: Smooth, round yellow beads—evoking sun, clarity, and spiritual warmth

• Second strand: Multicolored patterned beads—suggesting diversity, movement, and cultural echo

• Third strand: Dark beads with white geometric markings and gold drum-shaped pendants—affirming rhythm, memory, and ceremonial grounding

• Fourth strand: Bold red, yellow, and purple beads—radiating vitality, unity, and terrain vibrancy
