Wonderful piece! I think it is made by East Tracian silversmiths, the enamel and glass stones, it is typical for that area .EasternTrace extended from the south -west coast of the Black Sea as far as Istanbul, to the Aegean and the Hellespont (the Dardanelles), close to Turkey.
Thank you for beiing friends!
I don't think it is a Moroccan piece, but I like it a lot!

johane is right
these belts were done by the "kouyoumitzides", tracian silversmiths, they were called "ZONARI ME TIN KORONA" or "crown belt", offered during the engagement ceremony
usually they have a much more imposing and larger buckle in the shape of a crown
I am now in my Balkan craze phase and this belt is of a quality I would love to add to my own collection someday.
It was a good belt, and while in my debating stage, it sold for a mere $175....
