专家说明

The dress of aristocratic Hungarian ladies in the 16th and 17th centuries was as resplendent as that of their male counterparts. In addition to the sumptuous textiles of their dresses, often embroidered with gold and adorned with pearls and precious stones, Hungarian ladies wore extravagant jewels set into pendants, bracelets and belts. These pieces were commonly given as wedding gifts, as documented by contemporary dowry lists and inventories.
Two similar belts are illustrated in Baroque Splendor, The Art of the Hungarian Goldsmith, 1994, cat. no. 167 and 172, pp. 182-84.
