- Description
- The wrist cuffs of a man's costume for the Bahamas Junkanoo Revue, a junkanoo troupe in Miami, Florida.
- The two wrist cuffs are identical in design, featuring three, round red and gold gemstones at the center of a blue field edged in red, covered in glitter, and outlined with gold beaded trim against a white background. The edges are bordered in red with gold beading trim. There are two clear crystal-like gemstones at the top of the forearm and four more at the wrist. The materials appear to be secured with hot glue. The insides of the cuffs are lined in red felt. Red felt wires are attached to the cuffs so they can be tied around the arms.
