- Description
- An ornate armband, known as the irhwantsi, is crafted from a polished brass base. Its design features a flat strip adorned with a series of white beads, each decorated with striking navy stars. The band is fringed with a vibrant cascade of beads in an array of colours, including deep navy, bold red, bright yellow, and classic black pearls. Enhancing its charm are four long, playful pompoms in hues of red, navy, yellow, and pink, making this unique accessory a popular choice among both young and middle-aged men and women.
