About the object
This belt is made of twenty layers of plant leaves (banana or pandanus leaves), which are tied together with strips of bast and strips of fabric. It is secured at the ends with a sewn-on coconut fiber cord; a cord is used for tying. According to the inventory book, the belt comes from the Marshall Islands. It is unclear whether it came to the museum through the donation of Antonie and Eugen Brandeis in 1900/01.
