This is on the one hand a very durable high quality belt in dark brown. On the negative side, the image displayed looks a bit colorful - with traces of black in the finish. I don't have any of these on my belt. I know there can be variations but mine is just a solid dark brown so I'm feeling a bit misguided. I'll keep it because it's a well made belt at a decent price. I guess they took the prettiest but don't expect such an exotic look.
