Bride Price Belt3145/1
Belt made of wood, shells and plant fibre. Wooden base is long, thin and curved, with all the bark removed, and loops carved at each end. Around middle between the loops the wood is covered in a dense weaving of plant fibres which serve as anchors for a line of upright shells that run the length of the piece along its top edge. Shells increase in size from ends to centre. Each is round, with concentric circles making up the interior structure. Cortex colouring is a white base with orange to dark brown dots.
