Betty did you buy this? I remember when you posted the picture from the shop. Gorgeous, congratulations!! I agree it looks like the buckles I have seen identified as Armenian.

i like you fotos a lot. i could never make good fotos with dark background, you have to show me the secret :-)
This is indeed a very lovely Piece!
Thank you everyone for your kind words.
Yes, it's a really exceptionally beautiful piece with no visible flaws. I really fell in love with it and couldn't resist...(Yes Lynn and Peter, it's the same piece I showed you earlier when I had just discovered it).
According to a very knowledgable friend, the buckle might indeed come from the city of Mardin in Turkey which until 1915/16 had a large Armenian population.
If anyone knows how these buckles were born (on leather or textile), or even knows a source/picture etc., I would be very grateful.
