content: Woven cotton band with raised-warp design, probably commercial cotton. Warp is red. Fringes begin about 7 cm from the end. Feather pendants, all but 2 with cotton (?) seed caps, attached to either sides of fringe. No fasteners. Dr. Newton says that these were obtained from Krikati Kaprun, a 67 y/o male in the Pukobye village. They were made by Pore, a 25 y/o female. There are used. They were worn by Muhe (Belatio) a 21 y/o male for the wu?tu ceremony of the Pukobye in Governador ini 1968. They were made for him by his wife, Pore. At the close of the ceremony when personal ornaments were redistributed, these wristbands were given to a visiting Krikati, whose name is Kaprun. He then sold them to me even before he left for his home village. The band is warp faced plain weave with raised warp design, both ends of which are fringed and have attached pendants of cotton seed, and feathers. The band warp is 2s cotton, fine, the weft is commercial red thread. Pendant cord is 2z tucum/caroa. Price paid: 3 crn.
