Beaded Necklaces
The Rungus, natives from the Kudat area have long been known to produce beautiful beaded necklaces; they wear long broad multi-stranded ones crossed over their shoulders to their waists over their traditional black costumes interwoven with gold thread. Patterns on the strands tell of ancient fables and human figures are picked out in bright hues in the beadwork. Ever-enterprising, the Rungus today produce bangles, earrings and even brooches to go with the necklaces.
