Belt

Belt

Long beaded blue belt with seed pod fringe that are musical when rattled. Beadwork from Amazonia/South America. More research needed, but possibly Shipibo (upper Amazon in Peru) or another indigenous tribe of the Amazon. Woven on natural fiber cordage. Fiber is tan in color, while the bead colors vary in white, blue, red, and yellow. Beadwork forms geometric designs such as zig-zags.
