English summary: Historic Beaded Belt
Features a detailed beaded net (perlenett) with nine full repeating patterns and two half-repeats at the ends. The design consists of white, yellow, and green diamonds containing small St. Andrew’s crosses, with a small blue cross at the center of each diamond.
Mounted on red wool fabric. It is edged along the long sides with classic black velvet ribbon featuring a purple and green pattern, alongside a narrow gold lace/trim.
The short ends are finished with a 2 cm wide woven metallic ribbon (galon). The belt fastens with three pairs of hooks and eyes, is lined with blue-patterned cotton, and is completely hand-assembled.
Found preserved in a chest alongside a green velvet/plush bodice (liv), suggesting it was originally worn together with that piece or another short bodice.
