Izze-kloth The Izze-kloth or Medicine cord is a sacred cord worn by Apache medicine men that is believed to confer strength and special powers of healing to the wearer. The ''izze-kloth'' is usually made from strands of animal hide and its length punctuated with beads and shells. Often, an ''izze-kloth'' has four strands, each dyed a different color (usually, yellow, blue, white and black). ==Etiquette== The ''izze-kloth'' holds great sacred symbolism and people regarded as unbelievers in the cord are almost never permitted to view, touch or discuss it. Nineteenth-century ethnological reports on Native American beliefs often commented on the difficulty in understanding the purpose and use of the ''izze-kloth'' because "''the Apache look upon these cords as so sacred that strangers are not allowed to see them, much less handle them or talk about them''."
