This is a vintage leather African belt, likely a sash belt, featuring cowrie shell embellishments. The belt is made of brown leather with darker reddish-brown edges and stripes, and it has tie closures made of leather cords. Three cowrie shells are arranged in a clover-like pattern at the center front of the belt. These types of belts were traditionally crafted from high-quality leather and authentic cowrie shells and are often adjustable due to the tie closure. Cowrie shells hold cultural significance and were historically used as currency and for adornment in various parts of Africa. The belt's dimensions are described as 2 inches wide and 25” inches long, with an additional 11.25-inch tie strap & a 3.75” loop.
