Delicate beaded fringes line the front of Barabaig
cloaks. With a similar design, the 70-inch-long Amias
Scarves have beautiful beads and fringes—and amazing
versatility! Wrap the lariat necklace twice around the neckline and tie
like a necktie, drape over your shoulder, loop it
loosely around your neck, wear it as a belt, so on and
so forth.
Barabaig leather fringe is just as much a product of
mastery as their beadwork. The leather is carefully cut
by hand with a knife over the base of a gourd. And, the
beaded color combinations on the scarves have special
meaning to the Barabaig. Each color combination on the
lariat necklaces are Barabaig spiritual colors or
specific to a Barabaig clan, each having their own special
skills and powers.
