What is The Snakeskin Belt

Mary Poppins receives the skin of the Hamadryad as a gift from that lord of all the animals in "Full Moon," which makes her very happy. She views the gift with such pleasure, as noted by Jane and Michael, that she even appears at Number Seventeen the following morning wearing a belt fashioned out of this skin. The fact that the Hamadryad loves and respects Mary enough to give her his own skin is indicative of the deepest sort of affection. The snakeskin belt is therefore a symbol of friendship and selflessness which is triggered by such deep feelings. The belt is insignificant in terms of the greater narrative but extremely important in teaching readers an implicit lesson about selflessness and emotional bonds.
