content: Bandolier made of an interlaced babassu flat frond. Dr. Newton says this was obtained from and made by Krunkorobm, a 49 y/o male. Unused. Maker said this is to be worn sling style, arapi. Price paid: .20 crn. This is a unique artifact; no other examples were collected or observed in the time that I was with the Krikati. I did not observe such an artifact among other Timbira or in any museum collection. I take this bandolier to be creative play. In the Krikati reperatory of techniques, it's closest ties are to their interlaced babassu headbands or mats. In form and manner used, it is most similar to the plain frond bandoliers of the Canela e.g. MN 26746ab [Museu Nacional] : a double set of flat frond bands worn crossing the chest from opposite sides, or CN 1935 [perhaps plate 4? bmw] (B21.24)[not given to SI] and MN26747-26750, a double set and singles of flat frond bands, CN 1935 (B21.23).
