The traditional beaded accessories of Sabah are currently having a moment. Hopefully, this “trend” stays on permanently, and more people learn to appreciate them.
In Sabah, one of the most popular beaded accessories is the Pinakol, a shoulder band usually worn by Rungus girls and women to adorn their traditional outfit. The Pinakol is worn in pairs, criss-cross on the shoulders, but smaller versions can be worn as a single necklace, much like the Litai (beaded necklace).
