- Description
- A striking pair of armbands, intricately woven from brass, known as irhwantsi, showcases a flat white bead tab adorned with two lustrous pearls and sparkling diamonds. These bands are elegantly fringed with a vibrant array of pearls in navy, red, white, and black, complemented by delicate white streamers and playful pink pom-poms. Traditionally worn by both young and middle-aged men and women, these adornments are a stunning blend of colour and texture, reflecting a rich cultural heritage.
