The shoulder carrying strap is made of Ndop type cloth. The sheath of wood is covered with stiched-on leather (see back detail), then a fragile thin black cloth holding the beads. The loss of some of that fabric has resulted in the loss of a lot of the dark red beads in upper, middle and lower areas (see detailed photos above).
