'Blue and white is the beadwork of Pondoland and red ochre the colour of everyday wear. Unmarried girls do not wear the ceremonial white, nor do they attend parties, celebrations, beer drinks. The bead head band of this typical design is usually worn by girls and boys of courting age, and may be interchanged as tokens of affection. The exchange of love tokens is a popular Pondo custom. Scarification of the face in the manner illustrated, is also customary.'
