Same size, weight and style as the other Ottoman buckle. This is a very special buckle and extremely rare to find.

    Another lovely filigree buckle, Peter. Is this the last one from the private collection you mentioned earlier?

    Hallo Pieter, This buckle looks like an honest piece of work. Solid and sturdy work with the ottoman styles. I love the outside  finishing decoration.  Also the pendants looks so much with its own character.Beautifully worked linked chains.

    Thank you for showing. I love it.  Gr. Ingrid.

    Dear All; Many thanks for your comments. Yes Thelma, this buckle comes from the same collection. I have never seen such big and heavy Ottoman buckles before and I doubt that I will not see any again. I personally do not know this collector but bought the four buckles through a friend in Amman. With kind regards. Peter

    Gorgeous, Peter.  For me it is the dangles that really set it apart.  How heavy are these buckles (approximately?)

    Dear Lynn; These buckles are between 190 and 200 grams each. They are about 13cm wide and 12/14cm long. With kind regards. Peter
