Classic Pokot Collar
Like the Rendille, Samburu, Masai and other East African pastoralists, Pokot women traditionally wore neck rings as part of their daily assemblage. Distinctively, the Pokot fabricated their neck rings from segments of a variety of reed that grew in their lands. This example comes from the personal collection of Ithaca, New York native David Light who acquired in situ between 1965 and 1974. 10″ in diameter, unmounted.
