In this instance it was part of a supply being made into cordage to string beads. Cordage obtained by extracting it from fleshy leaves of plant. Fibrous strands then dried and twisted into cordage by rolling two or three plys against the thigh. Cannot always be distinguished from wild fiber of tucum hastera palm.
