Belt2813/34

A heavy, broad leather belt with an attached pouch. The belt closes at the back with four metal-tipped straps, four metal buckles, and seven metal keepers. It appears as though one of the keepers is missing. The surfaces of the buckles and strap tips have been incised with plant imagery. The tops of the keepers have been cast or incised with various symbols. Five of them display crown-like images and two of them depict men on horseback. The pouch closes with two straps and two metal buckles. The belt is decorated with six horizontal rows of circular metal rivets, and the leather has also been incised with geometric patterns. Near the straps of the belt, a Crucifixion scene has been created through the attachment of small metal decorations, sometimes referred to as 'conchos'. The scene contains a figure on a cross, standing in a horseshoe, flanked on either side by a man on horseback. Two birds have also been included in the scene.

A hat made from stiff, felted, undyed white wool. It has a rounded crown and a medium-sized brim. The edge of the brim has been lined with a narrow layer of yellow-white seam tape that has been stitched on in red thread using an interlocking serpentine pattern.

On the streamer side of the hat, a flower made of yellow ribbon has been sewn onto the orange ribbon. The centre of the flower is black.

Drawing2811/111

Children's drawing on legal size off-white paper. The page is divided diagonally by an undulating band drawn in pencil that crosses from the upper left to the lower right. This band represents a river and there are three human figures floating in the river. Above the river, there are seven human figures and a helicopter. The helicopter has shot one of the figures, who is lying on the ground. The largest human figure, who is carrying a small being on its bicep, is getting shot in the leg by the figure to the far right. Below the river, a domestic scene has been created as a female figure is depicted with her three children, two of which she is holding. The child that she is not holding is off to the right and is carrying a blue ball. There is a round object near the river that resembles a soccer ball, and there is also a small house with smoke or fire rising from the roof.
