Pair of beaded hide wrist bands. The top of each is completely covered in beads, with a blue ground. Round red flowers on stems with green leaves decorate each end, one with a tassel of red, black and translucent beads hanging from the foliage, the other with leather thongs. Three flags on poles sit at the centre in red, white and blue. The underside of the bands are undecorated, but show the intricate stitching. They tie together with hide thongs.
