A long, narrow woven wool belt features a repeating vertical band of dark blue and off-white geometric motifs. Central eight-pointed stars are encased within diamond shapes, flanked by thin, solid red borders. The top transitions from a red and white checkered pattern into a horizontal band of scrolling waves. The bottom concludes with a final row of triangles before terminating in a long fringe of twisted, multi-colored wool threads.
