A narrow, hand-crafted leather belt dyed black on the exterior surface, with the natural brown of the leather visible on the interior. The belt is cut from a single strip of leather with straight edges and a smooth, matte finish. One end is fitted with a small, rectangular metal buckle in silver-tone finish, secured by a loop of leather and a single metal rivet. The opposite end is punctured with multiple adjustment holes. The belt shows signs of gentle wear, including softened leather and slight creasing, particularly near the buckle and adjustment points.Made/Created
