This bracelet is made with fiber ties and colourful beads that form a geometric diamond pattern. The Shipibo-Conibo have geometric designs on much of their pottery and art. These geometric patterns and symbols were part of a codified system that represents different aspects of their beliefs; however, though it is still used for decorating the ability to translate this language has been lost over time and outside interference with the culture. Women create the art among the Shipibo-Conibo.
