Description
Multicoloured woven belt with two fibre tassels on one end. The belt is decorated with a multicoloured geometric pattern that extends to one end of the belt. The other end of the belt consists of nine multicoloured fibre cords, which are loosely stitched together on the end near the belt, and have gaps between them on the end near the tassels. Two tassels extend from this end: one is black-red with an orange fibre pom poms; the other end is yellow with a pink fibre pom pom. Extending down from the pom poms at the bottom of each tassel are two smaller tassels, each with pom poms at the bottom. The belt's design is a pattern of alternating rectangular sections of grey-blue, orange, and white backgrounds with white, grey-blue, and orange geometric designs. Ten sections from the tasseled end of the belt, the grey-blue colour changes to a slightly darker shade. The grey-blue sections are bordered above and below by pink stripes; the orange sections, yellow; and the white sections, lavender-grey. The pattern and stripes are in the opposite order on the other side of the belt
