When I first saw this doll I knew I had to have her. I love the fantastic details and beautiful colors of her facial features, skin, hair and clothing. From the Dolls of the World "Princess Collection", Princess of South Africa Barbie doll proudly wears a traditional Ndebele-inspired dress. Its black and white patterning is topped with a colorful ngurara (intricately decorated blanket) cape. In Ndebele culture, tight-fitting neck rings are considered the most attractive and essential accessories. She wears golden-colored leg and neck rings called izixolwana.
