Item Details.
An interesting and stylish traditional tribal belt made from silk embroidered velvet and leather with a metal buckle. Hand worked to a traditional design using a lovely colour combination of turquoise with deep claret red and pink.
It would have been worn over a silk robe called a chapan.
From the late 19th/early 20th century and probably Moroccan or Algerian, it would make a great addition to a collection.
