Loincloth3059/1

Loin cloth made of strung seeds. Unbleached cotton fibres make a grid for the oblong grey and brown tururri seeds to be tightly strung onto, in vertical rows. Woven fibre borders hold the grid together, and a short, thick fringe of the same material hangs from the bottom. Long twisted ties dangle from the corners of the cloth, and small red and brown feathers are attached to the short sides by red and white beaded strands.

Rattle3041/5

Rattle made of strands of plant material curved to form a handle, and then widening to form the bodies of two joined rattles. The same material is wrapped around the handle, and around itself at the base of the handle in order to hold the twin rattles firmly together. Intertwined between the strands on the rattles are strips of leaf (coconut?) in an open weave. Large round pieces of gourd form the base of each rattle. Inside are small white seeds that make a sharp noise when the object is shaken.
