70s Black Leather Appenzell Belt Swiss Hiker Dog Cow Sun Brass Intricate Novelty

Leather, black on the front and brown on the backside. Brass pieces down the length with images of cows, sun, and a hiker in traditional garb with a dog companion. Belt fastens into 1 of 6 holes. Such a fun and unique piece. These Appenzell belts have a long tradition so its hard to pinpoint an era for this one exactly. Because of the condition of the leather and the brass and comparing them to others of the same type, I do believe this to be a 70s piece; however, it could be more modern than that. Very good condition, there is some stiffness to the leather and scuffing on the brass pieces. The leather has been conditioned.

Length: 36”-40.25”
