This is a luxurious silver nagoya obi - pine tree pattern is elaborately woven with tsume tsuzure technique.
One threads by one threads, it was woven elaborately with nails, and it had to be taken incredibly long time to be completed. It has special kind of comfortable and stiff touch of tsume tsuzure silk.
Unfortunately it has many stains, smudges and prominent discoloration and strong folding line.
We can't say it is in very good condition, but it must be an excellent handicraft material!
