Here's another belt I owned. I couldn't identify it so I eventually sold it. I resently saw a picture of Shahrial Alam Shah and his buddies wearing this type of belt buckle with their Keris shoved throught the waist band. I've learned they are called "Pending". What an awesome look! Now I'm kicking myself for selling it. Oh well, live and learn. Good to display with your Keris collection I would say. I'd wear it around the house with one of my Keris
Pending is a large, intricately ornamented belt buckle worn around the sampin, a skirt-like cloth worn by men, to complement their baju melayu, the traditional attire for men. Traditionally, the pending is a sign of wealth and status for Malaysian men.
