[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9788764, member: 360"]Oh, well I'll head off back home then, if nobody needs me... But yes, it's a Peranakan-Chinese / Straits-Born Chinese silver belt, as worn mostly by the nyonyas (Straits-Chinese women) back in the 1800s, early 1900s (and even today, if you can find one that fits!!). The panel-style belt like this is certainly Malay / Singaporean style. There are several styles of Peranakan belts. Mesh styles are popular in Thailand, there's also woven beadwork styles which are from like, Singapore and such, there's panel styles like this, there's coin-and-chain style, coin-style, layered silver...I think that's all of them.[/QUOTE]
