Beads

The indigenous people of Sarawak have since long ago been associated with beadwork for adornment as well as for ceremonial purposes. Here, beads tradition goes back to the very remote past. The variety of beads, the materials from which they are made , their colours and the values attributed, all make up an interesting conversation and discussion.  Beads, today, are used in many different ways and one can see government officials using them as gifts and garlands for different functions and events as well.
