Description
Belt composed of three cylindrical pieces of fabric or leather(?) that are bound together and covered in coloured beads. The belt has various patterns, which are separated by two vertical rows of small white beads. The ends of both sides are covered with hide, with two tassels on both ends to fasten the belt. There are horizontal lines of blue and black beads next to the hide. One end of the belt has a large white bead on the hide, while the other does not. Next to the blue and black beads are vertical rows of small white and black beads. The rest of the belt's design is primarily composed of green, black, and white beads. The middle and top/bottom rows alternate between green and black beads (except in the centre of the belt where the middle row is pink), with additional white and black beads on all the rows. The centre section of the belt has pink beads on the middle row, with green on the top and bottom.
