31 rows of beads, which are threaded into chains on cords, are held together vertically with inlaid dark brown leather strips. Three leather strips are threaded along the entire length of two opposite sides. There is a row of beads between each of the narrow leather strips. Between them are two shorter leather strips, which are integrated into the lower 8th and 9th bead chains. The chains taper towards the top. On one side, the leg jewellery is open between two leather strips. The metal beads are silver-coloured, individual beads are discoloured in different shades of brown.
