Some belts still mixed utility with decoration – the most famous probably being the coronation belt of the Shah of Iran dating back to at least the 17th century AD. Not only does it carry a sword but it has one enormous emerald and some two hundred diamonds on a band of solid gold. The bling bling quotient of a belt denoted status. Tutankhamun's attendants wore plain cloth while Tutankhamun's belt was heavily studded with garnets. Belts were so important that even over the first bandages around the waist of his mummy was a belt of gold with glazed beads.
