Displaying a belt - your suggestions..

There are many framers could help you mount this behind glass in a rectangular framed display, I have done it with a number of knives. They use a very fine stainless wire that is coated in clear rubber, choose a nice regal colour for the back ground and a nice neutral and simple pewter coloured frame. See one example of the Dha attached where I have left a larger portion of matting to the bottom of the frame so I could add a brass description plate should I need too, the local engravers have these pretty cheap if you wanted to add this too.

Thanks for all of your suggestions! I don't collect belts as a topic, but I do have three belts that came with their respective swords. Ideally I would somehow display them on the mannequins, but space is a big consideration!!! I have none..
