This is a Han Chinese **waist belt** from the Central Plains region. According to what I've heard, it's a piece from the Republican era (original), with a calm color scheme of dark navy and off-white, and a dense weave of intricate patterns. Looking closely at this belt... it's not just a geometric pattern, but rather filled with motifs of people and household items. It feels like "daily life" itself is lined up, and the creator's perspective is very warm. The maker was probably someone who cherished their home. I feel that the daily routines and feelings for their family quietly remain within the fabric. ■ Key Features [ ] Old waist belt from the Republican era (valuable as a historical artifact) [ ] Fine weave with a high density of pattern information [ ] Dark navy base, easy to match with clothing and art materials [ ] Fringe ends also have a great atmosphere (see photos) ■ Recommended Uses [ ] For folk art/ethnic fabric collections/research materials [ ] As a bag strap/wall hanging accent [ ] For creating artwork (remake, collage, patchwork material) ■ Condition Due to being an old fabric, there may be some scuffs, color unevenness, and loose threads.
