Description
Humans of all cultures admire and create beauty. We've gathered some of the most stunning examples of how people adorn themselves with what they consider to be beautiful. This box includes necklaces, belts, headdresses, and several other types of adornments, and the meanings associated with the objects are particularly important. Students are encouraged to focus on and appreciate the details of the objects, how they are used, and what they mean to the people that wear them. Box includes 18 items from Afghanistan, Ecuador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, and the Philippines.
