Our Sister from KENYA inboxed us asking what are those 2 sticks Rwandan 🇷🇼 women put on their foreheads during Wedding ceremonies stand for....Well they symbolise cow horns to show that her family has already received dowry payments (The dowry was always strictly a cow, 1 to 100 cows🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄)
In Rwandan tradition, cow is the most prized belonging to a family. Cows have been the symbol of wealth, social status, source of milk, blood cake, meat and hides, and best gifts that one Rwandan could give to a fellow countryman. In traditional Rwandan families, dowry is still paid in terms of cows
