24K gold plated brass and bronze. Belt and convertible buckle. Buckle can be worn separately as a brooch. Entire design is hand fabricated – this design updates chainmail belts favoured by the Straits Chinese in the Straits Settlement, Malaya. These belts were historically worn decoratively to cinch a traditional blouse called ‘Kebaya’, which is a garment that has experienced a resurgence in popularity amongst enthusiasts of Straits Chinese culture. This is a one of a kind piece and is the first in a series of similarly style belts.
