Description: | Girdle (Bedamuni: ifô). Girdle made from gopéa (Buko, Gnetum gnemon), worn by men underneath their skirt and pubic covering. The method of making ifô is essentially the same as for gisègisu like 1982.85, where the oval shape is produced by spiralling the rope outwards around an open centre where a double connecting string is visible.
