Two bands of black velvet ornamented with glass beads, lined with multicoloured floral printed fabric and bound with red cotton tape. Blue printed cloth sewn to either end of both beaded bands.

The blue printed cloth visible on the back may have been added later by the museum. Pictured cradleboard was added later. Based on observation, it appears that these two beaded bands may originally have been made for something else.
