Description (CMS Description)
Apron or skirt form of a wide woven band in natural colour and dyed black with small tassels of leaf strips. Longer strips of ?pandanus leaf are attached to the belt to form the skirt. The actual shape of the object is difficult to decipher as it has been tied with strings very tightly preventing one from unrolling it.
