Description

A belt made from a wide strip of hide with muskox hoof sheaths attached by sinew and hide thongs. The thongs pass through a hole drilled through each of the hoof sheaths, and through holes cut into the belt straps. The hoof sheaths have been modified by cutting notches along the edges. A brass button is attached by a piece of sinew at one end of the belt strap and serves as a fastener. The strap has a loop at the opposite end for receiving the fastener.
