This is bordered and interspersed by rows of threaded coix seeds. On the left-hand side is a tassel of ruddy-brown sago-leaf. The right side ends in a tightly braided loop, while the left connects to long woven braids of sago leaf. There are two loose ties where this long braid is woven into the patterned section.

Belt2948/106

The main body of the belt is 11 cm high with twelve columns consisting of six horizontal painted stripes alternating between dark brown terracotta ochre and yellow-brown and white pigment(faded). This is surrounded by a border of ruddy-brown plaits with a broad loop on the left end and a tightly wound loop on the right that holds several braided ties, which may have been previously wound together, as one is thicker and made up of several braids and the others are single strands and somewhat frayed. Above the columns, two cords of ruddy-brown grass and two of dark brown and yellow-brown stripes, criss-cross to form five diamond shapes with incomplete ends. On top of these are paired lines of light grey seeds, one section is missing. Three narrow braided tassels with loose ends are attached to the bottom of the belt.
