Abstract

Royal Mbebana is a continuation of exploration into various African cultures and fables. This piece was inspired by the Basotho tribe of North Sotho, South Africa. In this culture the girls are initiated into womanhood at 14-16 years of age at a ceremony where they wear a tradition beaded apron.
