The arrival of Europeans in the early 1800’s brought glass beads to Kenya. The Maasai were the first to use these beads to create numerous beaded items. Now many tribal artisans use the beads to create their own designs in beadwork.
Traditionally blue symbolizes sustenance and energy. It represents the blue of the sky which provides life sustaining water.
