Belt for man
1946
On hip loom of commercial cotton yarn woven white "xenilol". The warp threads are knotted at the ends in a geometric motif in a very fine macramé technique, ending in many tassels. It is worn over pants wrapped and knotted on the left with the ends hanging down. Worn with trousers 5075-137 and shirt 5075-136.‖ These belts are woven at home by the women and worn by the men in the family. Sometimes they are also sold at the market, but then are never completely finished. The macramé, embroidery and pompoms are made at home by the buyer.
