- Description
- A striking pair of arm bands, intricately woven from brass, is known as irhwantsi. These adornments feature a narrow strip of delicately arranged beads in crisp white, deep navy, and vibrant red. Hanging gracefully from the bands are elegant streamers, accompanied by playful pink pom-poms and miniature bells that jingle softly with movement. These beautiful pieces are traditionally worn by both young and middle-aged women and men, adding a distinctive touch to their attire.
