This is a drawing of a belt with a decorative pattern. The belt is depicted lying flat, with a simple, solid round buckle at the center. The surface of the belt is decorated with repetitive motifs showing a small horse-drawn cart or carriage with a driver. These motifs are placed at intervals along the belt. The background of the belt consists of gentle horizontal waves or lines, giving it texture. The drawing uses muted tones of brown and gray, with fine lines to define the figures and patterns, against a plain backdrop that highlights the object itself.
