Straps end in two self-tabs and black silk ribbon. Hide thongs tied to metal buttons are pulled through singular holes at the top of the straps and then tied through the metal loops of the horn.

Floral beadwork, different designs on either strap, one strap also depicting possibly berries. White selvedge at top of the straps.
