Small woven bag of bast string with a long, narrow, braided strap. The bottom is flat with rounded corners. Mostly light tan, there is some darker discolouration. The bag has a faded dark grey, charcoal horizontal stripe across the middle that is 1cm at its narrowest and 2.5cm at its thickest.

The braided strap overlaps the body by 20 cm at each end; interwoven into the body and knotted on the backside just under the lip and at the ends.

An undulating double row of coix seeds and a several yellow, blue and green plastic beads are threaded with fine, bright green nylon twine over the top of the belt.
