jhameiaRemember last month when I was wittering about my great grandmother's belt?
Here it is rolled up:
Measuring it, it's about 127cm long:
The silverwork on it is, all things considered, fairly simple, but still very fine and really gorgeous.
Am very happy to have inherited this =) I'm quite sure she moved on already (my youngest aunt has a story of waking up one night to see the grandame standing over her. My aunt was born a year after great-grandma died, and so she only recognized the old lady from the silver belt. Family matriarchs hung key bunches on their belts) but it's nice to have something of hers. I also have my grandmother's ring too.
