Belt

MOA: University of British Columbia

3660/2

Long rectangular beaded belt with ties. The beadwork design consists of repeating lozenges, alternating large and small, on a light blue ground. The large lozenges have a purple centre with four small black and red designs, and the small lozenges are red. Both sizes are outlined in black and white. Between each lozenge are small white with black designs. The beads vary slightly in shape. There are four long ties of dark, twisted fibre; two ties on each end. Each tie has 4 white beads, larger than those in the main beadwork - 2 knotted on either end of each tie.
