Belt2813/22

The outer edges of the belt consist of the light yellow-white base colour with a repeating black, eye-like pattern. This horizontal pattern is bordered with one thin red line along the outside and one thick stripe of red, dark yellow, and light brown-green on the inside. The central horizontal band of the belt consists of a dark orange zigzag pattern with a light brown-green horizontal stripe running through the middle. There is also a floral-like motif in the spaces between and under the dark orange zigzags. There is a fringe on one end that consists of seven braids, with a braided green and red rope attached to the end of the fringe, which does not appear to be part of the original belt. There is one partial braid on the other end of the belt, suggesting that both ends may have been finished with a fringe at one time.
