Dome shaped earrings made of different coloured beads of red, blue and white beads stranded on a metal wire and circular brass wire added to it. The beads, wire and brass were purchased from a local shop. The beads are stranded in the metal wires, coiled together and finally the brass wire is added to them. They were made by Ndutayon Letuula and worn by her on the ear holes to show that she is married.
