Original Message:   Pokot, Kenya
These are collars worn by young girls of the Pokot Tribe, Kenya Made from roots of Cyperus papyrus L. – Bulrush - Cyperaceae. Said also made from the twigs of t'kaukau, a wild asparagus, but maybe that's Bulrush too? Later on these girl's get glass beads by their male admirers for more elaborate collars.
