Description | A leather belt decorated with glass beads and brass studs. One of the three stitches attatching the iron bucklet to the belt has come loose. Two rows of blue glass beads line the sides of the belt. The surface of the belt is further decorated with alternating blocks of purple, indigo, cyan, red, yellow and white beadwork in geometric patterns as well as three lines of brass studs. 34 of the studs have fallen off, but 12 are still attached. The belt holes are on a separate piece of 39.6cm leather sew to the back of the belt. There are 5 holes, and the leather is warped from use. The number 38209 is written on the back of the belt. |
