Evening belt

1930–39
Not on view
The design of this belt renders an off-beat, hand-wrought, non-fashion sensibility, which is an aspect of the wearer's, Millicent Rogers, style. The application of the wide metal foil and beads required a great deal of handwork which renders this a unique object. Additionally, the metal beads appear to be handmade as they differ in size and shape.
