  This reminds me of one that I saw on eBay a year or so ago, before I knew where it was from.  It said that it was a horse trapping!

  The one I remember had the "buttons" on the back of the larger bottom pieces, as if it were attachable to an apron or something similar.  The "buttons" were identical to the type on the back of Turkoman and Yomud "guljakas".  Does this have anything similar on the back side?

  This was on ebay also, I was alerted to it by a fellow friend and the person who had it thought it was Turkoman.  I have only had one other which was not as fancy as this one with as many tiers.

  yes same they all have those buttons. Maybe they slip into the costume ? not sure why they are there.

  I have also one ring I own that is from same region as well caucasian jewels has a similar one posted too.

  A very good piece from Azerbajian. As you say, Linda, it's rare. It is nicely composed with the kind of fine detailed metal workmanship that you and I particularly like. Good condition, a nice "generous" piece, and the marked date is also great. A nice  piece to get!

  Ah ha Linda, I'm sure that this is the same piece as it was listed as Turkoman.  I had no idea where it was from at the time, only that it was certainly not Turkoman.  I found it a bit too fancy to be a horse trapping, which I believe it might have also stated in the listing.  I would love to know how it was attached/ worn traditionally with those buttons!

  Glad to have seen it again here, too, Linda. I am not surprised I liked it when I first saw it. The button construction is indeed intriguing. It does not bother me, whatever it is. Perhaps it WAS used for a horse? Imagine a leather cover on the front of the horse, perhaps ... and then the buttons might be attached to that. Of course, that could be done in the case of a human as well. Hope to find out more.

  Not worn by a horse they were worn by woman along with a matching belt and some times headdresses.
