content: MADE BY A?KROIS, BUT OBTAINED FROM NEUTO, A 44 YEAR OLD MALE. A?KROIS WAS FROM THE PUKOBYE VILLAGE OF RUBIAS. THE RATTLE BELT IS WORN, SOME AKU BEADS HAVE BEEN LOST, AS WELL AS SOME GOURD TIPS. THE TOUCAN BEAK IS PROBABLY A REPLACEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL, GIVEN IT'S RELATIVELY PRISTINE CONDITION AND THE REMNANT OF A SECOND PIECE OF CORDAGE WHERE THE CURRENT ONE IS ATTACHED. THE WARP-FACED PLAIN WEAVE BELT HAS 3-ELEMENT FLAT BRAID & FRINGE ENDS, THE LAGENARIA GOURD TIPS ARE STAINED WITH URUCU, AND SUSPENDED FROM THE BELT IN PAIRS BY BEADED TUCUM STRINGS. THE TOUCAN BEAK IS TIED TO A CORD LOOPED AROUND THE BELT IN THE CENTER. ONE OF EACH PAIR OF GOURD TIPS IS ANCHORED TO A STRING, WHICH KEEPS THEM FROM TANGLING WHEN THE BELT IS WORN. PRICE PAID: 20 CRN. SEE ACCESSION RECORD FOR CENSUS INFORMATION. MADE BY A?KROIS, 45 Y/O FEMALE
