My daughter...You will live long to reap the fruit of your labour. You will grow up to be a great woman. Take this ostrich egg as your blessing. An elderly San woman said to her great granddaughter. Beautiful Mama Africa.
For the San tribe, the ostrich egg is a gift from the gods. Not only does the inside of the egg feed a family, the outside can be used as a water vessel. An obvious sign of fertility and prosperity, an eggshell made into beads and given to a friend is a wish for good luck.
