Decorated with carvings and pyrography. Historically, in Owambo societies these kinds of ivory belt slides and buttons would be given by young men to their bride or mother as a token of their hunting prowess and accomplishments. A bride would wear it on her wedding day and the following festive days. During their life together, her husband would add clasps to the belt as his hunting successes progressed.
