content: SKIRT IS WOVEN OF STRIPS OF PANDANUS, SWAMP SEDGE, GRASSES AND HIBISCUS BAST. THE COLORS ARE REDDISH- BROWN, YELLOW AND A DARKER BROWN. THE OLD CATALOGUE CARD LISTS THIS AS A MAT, BUT IT IS IN ERROR SINCE THE ORIGINAL LEDGER LISTS IT AS A "FEMALE CINCTURE." THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND CORRECTED.
