Brightly coloured patterned headband with beaded edges and long twisted ties at each end. The surface of the headband is off-white with multicoloured patterns, with two horizontal strips of purple, blue, off-white, and green along the top and bottom edges. These strips are patterned with a complex zigzag shape with diamonds in between the corners. The main pattern of the surface is in a wide horizontal band of red, purple, pink, and green stripes in the centre with animal, bird, triangle, and diamond motifs in off-white. The right end of the headband is made up of rows of multicoloured tubular twists of fibre, with alternating colours across the rows and three columns. The edges of the headband are made up of small white beaded loops, and clear beaded loops on the right edge and along the bottom of the tubular loop panel. The twisted ties are thin flat woven strips, with a white diamond pattern filled with green along the centre. The ground of the tie on the right is red, the left is pink. On the end of each tie there are three small loops of beading at the base of two long tubular beads with three more small loops of beading and a worn Republica de Bolivia coin at each end of the long beads. The beaded loops on the left side are red, pink, and yellow at the base and blue at the ends of clear tubular beads, with one large coin and one much smaller coin. The beaded loops on the right side are clear at the base and red and clear at the ends of blue tubular beads, with two similar sized coins.
