content: Woven cotton band fastened with a fiber cord. Band is decorated with an applique of tubular beads in a zigzag pattern. Fringe tassels are about 8 cm and covered with yellow urucu root. Feather pendants are two per end, each one with two parrot feathers, a cap seed and scleria seeds. Feathers are clipped. Dr. Newton says that these were obtained from Kloahu, a 16 y/o male and made by Kukui, a 26 y/o female. Used, but he is selling because he isn't using it now and wants to get beads for his wife. He calls wristbands pachi. The band is warp-faced plain weave with rubber/plastic tubular bead applique. The band ends are bound to form tassel with attached pendants of scleria/aku, cotton seeds and parrot feathers. The band cordage is 2z cotton, the weft finer, the warp heavy. Bead cord and tie strand are 2z tucum caroa. Price paid: beads.
