GUEST: I purchased it at a consignment shop in Bronxville, New York about… nine, maybe ten years ago. This one was $125.
APPRAISER: And what do you think it is?
GUEST: I thought that it was an Indian saddle bag, a Native American saddle bag…
APPRAISER: Okay.
GUEST: …or something like that.
APPRAISER: This is actually from Africa.
GUEST: Is it really?
APPRAISER: It's African and it's called jocolo. This jocolo apron is from the Ndebele tribe in South Africa. And it's actually worn by a married woman. It's worn on special ceremonial occasions, and it indicates status. I think this probably dates before 1950. The later ones tend to have a much, much bigger color field. The ones that are earlier have more white. I have sold these in the $400 to $600 range, but I've seen them as high as $1,200.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: It's a cool piece, thanks for bringing it in.
GUEST: Thank you.
