Hand-beaded by artisans of the Emberá-Chamí Nation in Colombia, this okama is worked bead by bead on a small wooden table loom, a technique passed down through generations of women in the community.

In Emberá-Chamí tradition, an okama's length and pattern tell the wearer's story. The long beaded fringe takes several days to complete, and no two are exactly the same.
