General
In the center foreground we see the completed Maleve necklace just finished by Masumbi. The aluminum strips can be clearly identified; the ends of these strips are turned over very slightly, making for a tiny hollow through which a sisal cord can be run in order to string these around one's neck. In the upper part of the slide are some pieces of ebony, a saw, and some files which were used to make some tiny ebony earrings very similar to the aluminum cylinders.
