This is a soft green
nagoya obi with charming wave like geometric pattern, which is woven.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has soft touch.
As the photo shows, otaiko part has a rather prominent stain and smudges(white part is discolored to blackish).
Both maegara( the patterned part of belt part, which will be the belly part when it is tied ) parts have small stains.
It has some other flaws as photos show. We can't say it is in very good condition, but still charming piece for its wonderful design. It must be an excellent handicraft material!

Belt part 6.1 in ( 15.5 cm) x 94.9 in ( 241 cm)
