I have never seen anything like this before! What is the origin? Is it partially brass?
Another beauty. I notice that this belt also has birds as ornaments just like the Lybian belt had a bird on the buckle. Does it signify anything?
Dear Peter,
If the belt could be Caucasian, this is a track worth investigating: Daghestan (e.g. Kubachi). Birds are a recurring theme in their jewelry, and the style of the buckle & hook reminds of the handles of some Daghestani metal pots.
Kind regards, JM.
Fantastic belt, Peter. I too have never seen one like it before. I am curious to learn more.... Kind regards, betty
