This belt is made of braided coconut fiber. The coconut leaves are braided together until the desired width is reached. Then a hollow snail shell is used as a button to hold the belt in place. This belt (kan̄ūr), like many others, is used to hold the clothing that people used to wear in place. Today these belts are no longer used because the foreign belt has taken over and is used.
