This is a
maru obi with luxurious higaki and cloud pattern, which is woven with metallic coated threads in the vivid red background.
It was worn by a bride during mid to late showa period (showa: 1926-1989).
Textile is jinken, and it has rather stiff touch.
It has some flaws as photos show. There are more stains like (A) - especially in the both ends.
However, as a whole it is in very good condition.
