An antique Tibetan belt, approx. 52"L overall x 2-3/4"W, comprised of a 10-1/2"L leather strap at one end and three rectangular sections separated by ornately patterned cast and gilt metal ornaments hinged on decorative brass straps over leather. Each of the rectangular sections is constructed from textile, leather and deeply carved metal ornaments. At the center of each of six of the ornaments is a roughly polished piece of coral. The buckle is a pretty gilt metal, and has bead decorations. This is a ceremonial piece, similar to those worn today.
