Belt2813/34

A heavy, broad leather belt with an attached pouch. The belt closes at the back with four metal-tipped straps, four metal buckles, and seven metal keepers. It appears as though one of the keepers is missing. The surfaces of the buckles and strap tips have been incised with plant imagery. The tops of the keepers have been cast or incised with various symbols. Five of them display crown-like images and two of them depict men on horseback. The pouch closes with two straps and two metal buckles. The belt is decorated with six horizontal rows of circular metal rivets, and the leather has also been incised with geometric patterns. Near the straps of the belt, a Crucifixion scene has been created through the attachment of small metal decorations, sometimes referred to as 'conchos'. The scene contains a figure on a cross, standing in a horseshoe, flanked on either side by a man on horseback. Two birds have also been included in the scene.
