content: Multiple twisted cords (probably one cord wound many times) of buriti wound together, fastened together at one end. One cord escaped being wrapped and is loose. When cords were twisted they used different colored fibers, giving each cord a variegated look. Dr. Newton says that this was obtained from and made by Yonte, a 23 y/o female, name giver to JCL. Unused. Made for collector. As unmarried women, Jean Carter Lave and I were said to need these belts. The material in these cases was determined by its ready availability. Cordage: begun with 2z tucum strand and finished with 2z buriti frond strand in continuous loops. The size is determined by wrapping around waist/hips of user, and only then binding loops together. Price paid: gift. Associated specimens 1964-298, made for DN.
