This 'tali pinggang' (belt) features a 'pending' (belt buckle) and a strap with panels decorated with floral designs. It was probably worn by the indigenous tribal people, such as the Dayaks, on ceremonial occasions. Those belts 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.
