content: From card: "Resembles preceeding item in many ways. A flat-plaited fiber band, damaged and apparently incomplete, changes into a 3-strand braid, about one end of which is knotted a piece of red and white cloth. Hanks of wavy human hair one end wrapped with fiber thread, doubled over and whipped down to make a loop. These are then fastened to the flat-plaited part. 35 hanks of hair present. Dr. Marshall says of this: "Old Valuable.""
