Ett band av växtfiber (raffia) som vikts dubbelt om ett bomullstyg och dekorerats med kaurisnäckor. Förmodligen en del av ett höftband som bars av kvinnor.
Ett liknande höftband fast här dekorerat med porslinsknappar finns avbildat på s 69 i Laman, 1953. "As a rule, the women first put on a nzeka-girdle or something else round the waist, after which they don a longer taba-apron in front, which is folded over the waist-band so that it is held firmly in position. Some have such a long strip of cloth that it is even possible to fold it up under the girdle at back. Others have a larger piece of cloth behind, which is folded with the two corners under the waist-band to keep it in position." Laman, 1953, s 71.
