Women simply wore pubic aprons also known as'caches sexesâ in various writings(literally- âto hide the sexâ) until approximately 1961, when governmental restrictions required women to be fully clothed. However the tradition continues in a number of ornate beaded forms worn today. Living in the area of the Mandara mountains. Matakam women of northern Cameroon wore pubic aprons made of small iron strips covering the sex and held in place by a belt of fiber. The Matakam are also known as'Kirdi' or'pagans' A name given to them by the Islamized Kanuri or Fulani who came into the area sometime during the 1600s. The Matakam or Kirdi live in small farming communities and are known for their arts of personal adornments, especially those made of iron including the'cache sexes, as well as necklaces, bracelets and other attachments worn on the belt supporting their'aprons' Composed of small iron strips the pubic aprons were worn by mature married women indicating their elevated status in Kirdi society. Beaded aprons have today replaced those of iron and are worn by women upon special occasions such as marriage or during the presentation of new born children. Geometric patterns found on the brightly colored beaded aprons reflect designs shared by a number of neighboring peoples. It is an example of how traditions are maintained in other forms and materials serving custom and aesthetic expression. The nomadic Fulani of Cameroon and their neighbors. The Kirdi, both make these beaded aprons. Maidens wear beaded cache sexe, sometimes torn by their hus

Within the Bamum complex there are numerous smaller ethnic groups, which are loosely affiliated with one another and share many historical and political similarities while retaining separate identities. All members of this group originally came from an area to the north and migrated in various complex patterns throughout the last several centuries. Fulani traders moving steadily southwards into Cameroon forced the Bamum into their current location during the 17th century. The Bamum are also one of the first peoples in Africa to develop a writing system under the auspices of King Njoya at the end of the 19th century. Njoya was able to maintain his status as a ruler under German indirect colonial rule but was forced into exile when the French took over in 1916. The kingship has since been restored. The peoples of the Grasslands reserve the highest allegiance for their lineage ancestors. Ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls of the deceased ancestors. The skulls are in the possession of the eldest living male in each lineage, and all members of an extended family recognize the skulls as common heritage

Apron/ Kirdi Cache-Sexe African Beaded Apron - Cameroon 10"by 18
This old beaded apron. Known as a cache-sexe, was once used by the women of the Kirdi and Fulani Tribes of Cameroon, West Africa as their only article of daily clothing. The name literally means"to hide the sex" Beaded aprons long ago replaced the original pieces of iron or other metals and are still worn today on important occasions. This piece is fully intact, and displays wonderful telltale signs of use and obvious wear. Measurements are approximately 17 1/2" long by 6 1/2" wide with a 2" beaded fringe. This is an authentic Kirdi cache-sexe African beaded apron that I obtained from African traders a trip a few years ago to Cameroon. The Kirdi. From the Cameroon, create cache-sexes, worn by women, for protection and to attract attention. Different cache-sex styles identify group affiliations, age grades, and special ... moreconditions such as puberty, marriage, and widowhood. The Cameroon government has long outlawed the wearing of cache-sexes, but the practice continues under the cover of long robes. The glass beaded aprons reveal a variety of chevron and triangular patterns. It is claimed that the lower portion of the apron is deliberately cut(or torn) on a wedding night to symbolize the consummation of the marriage. Cache-sex pubic jewelry. Called pikuran by the Kirdi, is traditionally worn by women in place of clothing. Worn to attract the eye, it may also serve as form of protection against evil, like the penis shields of woven fiber and calabash shell that used to be worn by the Kirdi men. Only in the vary remote mountain villages do women still wear cache-sex jewelry every day, and it is usually only the older generation who do so.
