Eokore. Begitulah nama hiasan pinggul ini di sebut dalam bahasa Enggano. Hiasan pinggul manik manik ini terbuat dari rotan, bambu dan bahan kaca (Manik manik, gelas). Suku enggano sangat berbeda sekali kebudayaannya dengan suku suku sekitarnya. Ini mungkin disebabkan oleh letaknya yang terisolasi di pantai barat sumatra. Meskipun kebudayaan suku Enggano mendekati kepunahan, tapi bukti bukti kebudayaannya bisa di lihat di Tropen Musium negeri Belanda.
