the book of "saad al jadir" is "arab and islamic silver", you will find a picture of a similar belt inside in page 68-69.
I found this belt here in France where it was being sold as ottoman (wich is partly true).
Ayis (and Joost) Yesterday, after reading your comments about the book Arab and Islamic Silver by Saad Al Jadir
I found it at Amazon.com. There were several used copies available so I ordered one.
the saad al jadir's collection is fabulous and on the book i cited, the owner only browsed it on a catalog way.
Saad al jadir have a much more valuable book (very big and heavy) called "KUNUZ, Islamic silver treasures" wich i found once in Morocco where it was first published. It is way more academic and tells tons of historical information about silver use in the islamic world; jewellery got the lion's share in it!
Highly recommended to have in any serious library on ethnic jewellery
