介绍（中）	据报道，这条腰带及其配套的剑和剑鞘（2014.262.1a-c）在 1860 年 8 月 21 日的北塔库堡战役中被埃德蒙·亨利·莱农中尉（1838-1893 年）在中国夺取。莱农中尉是第 67 步兵团的成员，后来晋升为中校，并因其当天的行为于 1862 年被授予维多利亚十字勋章。藏族刀和剑鞘搭配原始的、匹配的剑带非常罕见。腰带由浅红色皮革制成，整个长度顶部和底部边缘，带有浅绿色皮革滚边。它配有五个装饰支架，两端各有一个搭扣，一个皮革丁字裤连接到一个搭扣上。有一条短悬挂带，现已分离。另一条表带不见了。每个坐骑的正面都有一个穿孔和凿刻的矩形铁板，在滚动的树叶和金色的整体大马士革中装饰着一条起伏的龙。每个面板都设置在顶部和底部由铁制成的缺口或凸轮框架中，两侧由铜合金制成。皮带两端的安装座向外边缘逐渐变细，末端是带扣的铰链;铰链和带扣都是铜合金。其他三个支架是矩形的;一个固定到位，另外两个可以沿着皮带滑动。两个可移动的支架有一个枢轴的普通铁D形环悬挂在底部边缘，用于固定在剑鞘上的带子。每个支架都通过普通铜合金带连接到背面的皮带上。其余的悬挂带由一条窄条皮革制成，并缝合在一起形成一条窄带，两端各有一个环。它装饰有七个金字塔形铆钉，交替使用镀金铜和银。每个螺柱都由中央铁铆钉固定，该铆钉与背面的方形铁垫圈啮合。
介绍（英）	This belt, and its matching sword and scabbard (2014.262.1a–c) were reportedly taken by Lieutenant Edmund Henry Lenon (1838–1893) in China at the battle of North Taku Fort on August 21, 1860. Lieutenant Lenon, a member of the 67th Regiment of Foot, was later promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and was awarded the Victoria Cross in 1862 for his actions on that day. Tibetan swords and scabbards with original, matching sword belts are very rare. The belt is made of pale red leather edged along its entire length top and bottom with light green leather piping. It is fitted with five decorated mounts, a buckle at each end, and a leather thong attached to one buckle. There is one short suspension strap, now detached. The other strap is missing. The front of each mount has a pierced and chiseled rectangular iron panel decorated with an undulating dragon amid scrolling foliage and damascened overall in gold. Each panel is set in a notched or lobed frame made of iron on the top and bottom and copper alloy on either side. The mounts at either end of the belt taper towards the outer edge and end in a hinge for the buckle; both the hinges and the buckles are copper alloy. The other three mounts are rectangular; one is fixed in place and the other two can slide along the belt. The two moveable mounts have a pivoted plain iron D-ring hanging from the bottom edge for straps that would attach to the sword scabbard. Each mount is attached to the belt on the reverse by a plain copper alloy band. The remaining suspension strap is made of a narrow strip of leather doubled over on itself and stitched together to form a narrow band with a loop at either end. It is decorated with seven pyramidal studs, alternating in gilt copper and silver. Each stud is secured by a central iron rivet that engages a square iron washer on the reverse.
