The girdle, front strap and hangers are all stitched together; the girdle has a gilt-brass buckle and a hook of the same to fasten. The leather is couched and embroidered in plaited braid stitch with silver-gilt filé in a pattern of scallops, lozenges and intertwined ovals. All parts are edged with a ⅜-inch (8 mm) fringe of silver-gilt filé loops.  \r\n\r\nThere was probably a metal loop at the belt end opposite the hook originally, which has not survived.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"leather","id":"AAT11845"},{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"gilt-brass","id":"x38746"},{"text":"metal thread","id":"x30421"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hand weaving","id":"AAT53643"},{"text":"hand embroidery","id":"x30339"},{"text":"hand sewing","id":"AAT257459"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Leather, silk, paper, gold, brass, silver; hand-woven, hand-embroidered, hand-sewn","categories":[{"text":"Arms & Armour","id":"THES48992"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Men's clothes","id":"THES49043"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2020MN7107"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"010","id":"THES310220"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Sword belt","id":"AAT210007"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1640-1660","earliest":"1640-01-01","latest":"1660-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"111.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"overall","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"2.5","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"6.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"girdle","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Man's leather sword belt, 1640-50, English; silver-gilt embroidery","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["T.92-1959"],"accessionNumberNum":"92","accessionNumberPrefix":"T","accessionYear":1959,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-07","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-24","availableToBook":true}}
