"Ekipa sind wertvolle, aus Elfenbein geschnitzte Knöpfe, (...) die 'Knöpfe'

(wurden) seit dem 19. Jahrhundert von den Frauen und Töchtern der Owambo,

Hauptmännern und Stammeshäuptlingen im südlichen Afrika (Namibia, Angola)

getragen und zum Teil auch als Zahlungsmittel verwendet. (...) Die Verzierung

der Schmuckknöpfe entstand durch verschiedenartige Ritzmuster, hevorgehoben

durch Einreiben eines Extraktes, welches aus Aloen gewonnen wurde. Der mit

Sandstein polierte Schmuckknopf erreichte seine endgültige Patina, indem er

mit "Olukula" Puder (aus Dolfholz gewonnen) imprägniert wurde. An der flachen

Seite des Ekipa befinden sich Löcher zur Befestigung. Das Ekipa wurde am

Oberarm, Hals, Taille oder als Haarschmuck getragen." URL vom 24.09.2018:
