This long, 1″ wide belt is fashioned from thick, heavy-grade leather, dyed a deep blue that would have contrasted vividly with the earth-toned fabrics common in medieval tunics. At 70″ in length, it provides plenty of leather to wrap firmly around the waist or hips, reflecting how belts were worn in the Middle Ages to secure clothing and carry small tools or pouches. The belt is decorated with antiqued brass Maltese crosses,a symbol often linked to knightly orders and the ideals of chivalry,adding a layer of meaning beyond mere ornamentation. Such motifs signaled the wearer’s affiliations or aspirations within medieval society.
