Belt and buckle

This 'tali pinggang' (belt) features a 'pending' (belt buckle) and a strap made up of panels elaborately decorated with foliage designs. It was probably worn on ceremonial occasions, as those for daily use were simple and relatively unadorned. It has been suggested that such belts with panels belonged to a later period, whereas earlier ceremonial belts were made with many interlocking links and rings.
