Burst of colour at bead boutiques

Refah threads a traditional beads necklace to pass the time while manning the stall at the Rungus Traditional House at KDCA in Penampang.

THERE was a vibrant “war of beads” at traditional houses near the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA) in Penampang, near Kota Kinabalu, during the Harvest Festival.

Visitors to the festival bazaar there were spoiled for choice with a dazzling array of colourful, homemade accessories, ranging from traditional designs to modern twists.
