The belt showcases exquisite craftsmanship, featuring stone-mint brown leather attachments at each end to secure it in place. The belt itself is a work of art, composed of thin braided silver and black-chevroned bullion strings expertly threaded through three sets of braided silver bullion tubes. The tubes, numbering five per set, are securely threaded together, ensuring durability and longevity.
A notable aiguillette-like section, adorned with a braided rosette, is attached between two of the tube sections. This distinctive section consists of two thicker silver bullion cords that encircle the looped-together strings near one of the leather fasteners. The other end of the aiguillette showcases two portépée-like devices made of bullion and coiled silver-toned tinsel, gracefully hanging down from the rosette opposite to the aiguillette’s cords.
Behind the tube sets and the aiguillette’s rosette, a white silk lining is attached to the belt’s reverse. While intact, it may show minor soiling, a testament to its age and historical significance. When fully lengthened, the belt measures a generous 30 ½”, offering versatility in terms of display or wear.
