Object description

Bälte med människotänder.

Från nederkanten av ett mönstervävt bomullsband (5 x 42 cm) med ca 22 cm långa fransar i kortändarna, hänga i korta snören, påträdda med 5 små glaspärlor (vita och blå) 31 människotänder. Dessa ha ett fint borrat hål i yttersta rotändan, varigenom snören är dragna. En tand provisoriskt fäst, möjligen först senare på museet.

På HSAI sid 282 är ett nästan identiskt bälte avbildat. En lång beskrivning av bältet och dess ceremoniella betydelse lämnar Barbosa Rodrigues i Revista da Exp. Anthrop. sid 45. Se även Campana, 1905 sid 182.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
