In African culture, purple is symbolic of royalty and prosperity. This design reflects the distinctive blaze down the forehead of the blesbok with an array of glass seed and dagger beads. The three distinctive Simbircite cabochons also symbolize prosperity and general satisfaction in life to those in the house. The vibrant hues of purple bring out the graceful curves of the skull and reflect beautifully in the sun.
