content: Belt (?) made of multiple, twisted strands of buriti, all tied together in two places by wrapped cords, (probably one strand wound many times) lighter colored than the others. Dr. Newton says that this was obtained from and made by Yu?prum, a 45 y/o female, commissioned ? by Poro, a 35 y/o female, my name giver. 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: 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: field number 1964-361 made for either JCL or DN, collected post-June 1964 by JCL, and Museo Nacional #38752? also made either for JCL or DN.
