tribal adornments

Tribal adornments are decorative items, such as jewelry, body paint, or clothing, used by indigenous communities to express cultural identity, social status, or spiritual beliefs. These adornments often carry symbolic meanings, represent group affiliation, or mark important ceremonies and rites of passage. Made from locally sourced materials like beads, shells, feathers, or metals, they serve as a visual language that connects individuals to their heritage and community. Beyond aesthetics, these adornments can also signify age, gender, achievements, or protective qualities within the tribal context.
