This is a lovely Antique Silver Mesh Weave Belt from Southeast Asia.  This belt was purchased by my expatriate father & myself in the 1970's in Penang, Malaysia during the period he owned an Antique Shop on the island.  He only purchased items from reputable local Antique Dealers who dealt primarily in Chinese and / or Peranakan antiques. In regards to provenance I am not fully sure if the item is Peranakan, Malay or perhaps even Thai. I can reasonably estimate however that this piece dates to the later part of the 19th Century or early 20th Century.  Overall the item is in fine condition with no damage however it is unpolished and shows some dirt.  Please refer to all pictures in regards to the condition of the belt.

Belt Dimensions: 29 inches long, 1 5/8 inches wide & less than 1/8 inch in depth.  Weight: 5.6 ounces (158 grams)
