About the object

A long fibre string of the finest sort, with black and pale-coloured bast braiding. Strings like these belong to traditional male clothing and were tied around the waist in combination with a barkcloth skirt, held in place by a belt. Dress strings of this kind are very elaborate to make and demonstrates considerable artistry. As a result, they are the most valuable part of the apparel.
