Belt3097/57

Short multicoloured belt with wrapped tassels at each end. Each end has a red, orange, yellow, and white pompom from which three wrapped tassels extend. Slightly smaller pompoms are at the bottom of these tassels: the outer two are the same colour as the larger pompoms, while the central smaller pompoms are gradients of either dark green to light green to white or magenta to pink to white. Shorter and slightly thinner wrapped tassels extend down from these smaller pompoms, each has three small circles of fibre wrapped around the bottom. Below these fibre circles are small metal discs, attached to the bottom of the shorter tassels. The belt's design consists of a large zigzag surrounded by smaller lines, diamonds, triangles, and spirals. On the front side of the belt, the designs are coloured in horizontal stripes of dark green, light orange, and purple while the background is cream-coloured; opposite on the back side of the belt. On both sides, the top and bottom of the belt are bordered with thin pink lines.
