| Original Message: Unstrung Heroes |

|
First thing I always do is unstring the Kiffas, they are only strung for sale to begin with. In situ the trianular shapes are worn at the temple in groups of three and the lozenges are historically found as part of bracelets or scapulars. The rounds and cylinders would have been worn as necklaces but try finding authentic visual evidence of how these were worn. The conical beads were also worn at the head as ends of tassels or? My dream is to see these worn, on the women they were made for, in the manner/fashion they were intended to be worn in.
I do have repros strung for wearing but sorry no pictures right now.
