This karibo woryon(necklace) is made from white strands of sisal like plant(berkeyo). When girls are in circumcision seclusion, they ask uncircumcised girls to bring them the berkeyo so that they would make this. When they are out of seclusion, they wear it until they are married then hand it to the other young uncircumcised girls.
