SECONDARY ENDBAND
The threads woven through the tiedowns created by the primary endband sewing over the endband core. Often colorful, the purpose of the secondary endband is mostly decorative, although it has some function in keeping the tiedowns properly aligned on the core. # Some patterns woven in secondary endbands are very common; three such patterns are defined below. Other patterns, however, are specific to particular regions and time periods, such as those found in Southeast Asia.
