Another Indian curiosity with a practical use.  This beautifully worked belt shows deities amongst scrolling foliage and is conveniently adjustable to size. It came from teh collection of Srinanda Dey, a property entrepreneur living and working in Manhattan, New York from 1977-2018. Srinanda and his wife collected Indian art and artifacts mainly purchased from New York auction houses including Sothebys and art gallery sales. This was an expensive piece to buy from a prestigious collection - we are therefore selling it at cost price and hope someone will buy it to wear and enjoy, it may be a collector's piece but it is also a fashion showstopper.
