Abstract:
A heavy beaded necklace in blue, red, and amber made by Miguel Sabina. There are seven large bunches of beaded tassels at intervals throughout the necklace. Such a necklace would be used in Orisha religious ceremonies/altars associated with the Orisha deity Oshosi, whose ritual colors are dark blue and amber. Mazos are one of the most complex types of beadwork, and consist of various strings of beads divided into sections called 'casetas' (huts), separated by larger beads called 'glorias'. A number of tassel-like strands called moñas hang from the front and sides of the necklace. ( en )
