Heavy double sewn layers of hide.Pierced brass plaques attached with large round head brass rivets.37 carnelian stones.Overall length 45\" or 114 cmand width approximately 2 5/8\" or 7 cm.
Leather in amazingly good condition for 200 years.A few of the pewter (estimated ) studs on edges missing.Chips and broken with some losses of carnelian stone.I would think because of sword strikes during battle.Since this was used in battle with swords that should be expected.Buckle appears to be missingbut amazingly intact and I think inremarkable conditionfor something worn during active warfare.
A belt similar to this is published in the book\'Persian and Indo-Persian Arms and Armor of the 16th 19th Centuryfrom Polish Collection-Catalogue ExhibitionMalborg Castle Museum\'by Antoni Romuald Chodinski
