The chinband has
an over-all pleated
surface like some of
the preserved bands. A
band with frilled edges
of unknown length
has also been folded
around an understructure
leaving only the
frilled edges visible
which form a zig-zag
pattern.

The chinband is folded
on the middle lengthwise
so that the frills
along the edges meets
where they frame
the face. The band is
either a band with a
single edge of frills
folded twice around
the chin, or a band
folded lengthwise on
the midle and folded
around the chin once.
