B00679 Apron

It is an apron made from leather straps, which is decorated with metal beads. The apron consists of an approximately 3 cm wide leather band that is placed around the hips. A leather cord is attached to this wide band over a length of approx. 28 cm, which is cut into long, narrow leather straps on both sides. Some of the larger 1 or 2 metal beads are attached to these straps, which are up to 75 cm long. Plant fibres are wrapped around some of these beads to prevent them from slipping. The ends of the wide ribbon are each cut into four narrow strips. At the base, the 8 strips are connected with leather cross-connections on which metal beads are strung in 9 rows. There are two beads between each strip. A narrow leather band runs through the wide waistband, presumably for tying the apron.
