Description: | Hairband made of three loops of beads. There is a loop each of red and green beads threaded on cow's tail hair, and one of blue and white beads. It is tied at the back with thin strips of goat skin, and has a button on the front for decoration. Morans (warriors) wear hairbands of this type across the front of dressed hair, tied at the nape of the neck. This one was manufactured in Loogorate, and would have been made by the Moran's sister.
