Woman’s Belt Hangings
Gold-colored hanging object with two semicircular sections. The top section is smaller than the bottom one. Both sections are decorated with small turquoise and coral-colored stones. The stones are set into gold-colored metal frames. Four chains hang from the bottom section. Each chain consists of small gold-colored beads and ends with a flat, tapered gold-colored piece. A short chain with small beads and stones connects the two semicircular sections. A longer chain with small beads and stones extends from the top of the object, forming a loop at the top. The background is light gray. The object is titled "Woman's Belt Hangings" and is by an unknown artist.
