The Langalibalele Wall Art

Langalibalele means when there was sun is a wall piece inspired by Iziqhaza (zulu earplug). The history of Iziqhaza (Zulu earplugs) dates back to the late 1800s and the designs on the earplugs were historically inspired by traditional bead work motifs. After the 1930s the designs changed as a result of the earplug makers or artists being employed in city centers as miners, domestics workers and gardeners. After the 1930s the makers were stylistically influenced by geometric details on Art Deco buildings in Johannesburg and Durban. Interestingly household detergents such as sunbeam floor polish also became an inspiration. 

Handmade from glass seed beads we are celebrating the craftsmanship and the creativity that went into making these ear plugs.
