content: From Card: "A. Headband, a braided band to exterior of which is sewn a brown and white braid; tassels and pom-poms where ends join. B. A heavy fibre braid forms a belt to which numerous plaited brown and white braids are fastened. From the ends of the latter hang long pink streamers. Dr. Marshall says “Costume is typical of a recent (but not modern) Tahitian period. .... worth keeping but not doing anything with until someone does a comparative study of costume. This will rapidly disintegrate if handled.” Not removed from container in which it reached the Museum."
