Given to his future bride by a Cuanhama groom, these clasps are perforated at the back so as to slide on a belt she will wear at her wedding and on subsequent feast days. The husband will add clasps as his fortunes progress until a belt can have six or eight rows of clasps. A discussion of these Angolan peoples, who live on the border with Namibia, is given by Raoul Lehuard (1982, no. 42, pp. 20-25).
