Half-Circle Band 04

Description:

Overlapping half-circles are suspended from a dual-colored band. Similar to Half-Circle Band 3, the ends of the half-circles overlap to form an X. One end of each half-circle has a little floral “bud” painted to make the half-circles look like little arching flowers.
