Description: | Neckband (Bedamuni: gisègisu). A neckband worn by men and women. The gisègisu is made by women from twisted gopéa (Buko, Gnetum gnemon) rope. The oval shape of the neckband is produced by spiralling the rope outwards around an open centre where a double connecting string is visible. This example was bought from Siimi.
