White/cream Buffalo horn Bangle w/ round hand cut rough horn

Makoma, a legendary figure of the Shona people of present-day Zimbabwe, was a warrior princess known for her courage, sharp intellect, and deep connection to the land. She was revered for her physical and mental strength, yet she carried herself with grace and humility. The balance of the smooth, refined buffalo horn with the rough hand-cut horn in the bangle mirrors Makoma’s dual nature: polished yet fierce, elegant yet unyielding. As the protector of her people, she fought to maintain the sovereignty of her kingdom and the preservation of her culture.

This bangle honors Makoma’s spirit—soft and pure in its white cream tones, yet grounded in the strength of its rough, raw elements. It symbolizes the delicate balance between resilience and grace that Makoma displayed in her legendary reign, an embodiment of the harmony between nature, beauty, and power.
