Oh dear me, John - this should look very nice. I have only one set with 14 pieces but I love them - they look gorgeous. Do you know what was arranged on the top loop of them? Regards. Peter

Very beautiful, John! I saw some wonderful complete sets in a Museum in Tbilisi last summer, also daggers, belts and pistols. I am usually not overly fascinated with weaponry, but these pieces are often even more beautifully executed than woman's jewellery. Well, I guess, for the men, too, they were important status symbols...
