Solid silver belt from Rajasthan, India. - India - 19th century

This is an antique, solid silver belt from India, from Rajasthan, featuring woven 'snake' chains and a twisted pin buckle. 105 grams. Originating from South India, late 19th to early 20th century. The silver content of these old belts varies between 800 (continental silver) and 925 (sterling silver). This belt falls within that range—however there are no hallmarks. The best way to preserve the beautiful silver patina of this belt is to polish it with a dry cotton flannel jewelry polishing cloth. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners! It looks nice worn at the waist or lower on the hips. The belt is 80 cm long, so suitable for a slim waist. Please note I do not accept returns if it doesn’t fit. Silver value 160 euros.
