Woven belt with three bands of chevrons and graduated colour stripes in red, white, yellow, blue and green. The center band is pink and red stripes along pink chevrons, with smaller green chevrons at center. One end has braided fringe. Multiple ends or red yarn ar attached at both ends as ties.
Warp-faced fabrics with three or four selvedges are woven by women on the indigenous style loom, a staked-out horizontal ground loom, or an adjustable tension (body) loom. The technique and structure have pre-Conquest antecedents, and as in ancient times, the fabrics are used in their rectangular form without cutting or shaping. Used by boys, girls and women on a daily basis to hold up pants and skirts. Also used for binding the swaddling clothes of babies.
