Curator NotesThe garter, of loom-woven beadwork, has long thick fringes with supplementary red, green and blue wool yarn strung at intervals with white beads. The complex geometric design of pink and green on a white background is repeated with subtle variations four times. The design is a pink and black checkerboard butterfly shape at its crossing, four pink squares outlined in black at the corners, green or pink triangles at midpoint between the squares, and, at left and right, vertical bands composed of interlocked alternating diamonds and X's for a positive/negative effect.
