Today, san women use their skills as beadwork artists to provide income for their families.
Ostrich eggshell beadwork is mixed with other local materials like tamboti wood, seeds and porcupine quills.
All eggshells used to make jewellery are hatched and collected in form farms in southern Africa so as not to affect the natural
population of ostriches.
Himba costumes have recently adapted to include intriguing bracelets handcrafted from recycled water pipes.
They also wear heavy adornments created with copper, brass, beads, cowrie, shells, and leather.
Nharo travels to Namibia and buys the cultural artifacts of the Himba directly from the artisans.
