Vintage Ocher and Ebony Wooden Link Belt

This item is a statement-style link belt meticulously handcrafted from natural wood materials. It features a striking color palette of deep ocher yellow and dark ebony-stained wood. The construction consists of nine large, rectangular, slightly bowed wooden blocks acting as the primary decorative links. These ocher blocks are connected by pairs of smaller, round ebony-toned beads and light tan spacer beads, creating a ladder-like openwork structure. The belt is assembled on a dual-strand cord or wire for flexibility and durability. At one end, a large circular ring serves as the fastener, while the other end terminates in a decorative cross-bar toggle, suggesting a late 20th-century bohemian or tribal-chic aesthetic. The physical condition appears excellent with a natural semi-gloss finish. The wood grain is faintly visible through the stain, indicating organic craftsmanship. There is no visible cracking or significant wear to the toggle mechanism, though light surface scuffing commensurate with pre-owned vintage jewelry might be present upon closer inspection. The style is reminiscent of 1970s artisanal accessories, prized for their bold geometric shapes and use of natural elements.
