    Oh Peter, I love this belt. Beautiful and unusual silver work enhanced by the wonderful shade of red of the woven material. Congratulations! With best wishes, Betty

    Dear Sami and Betty; Many thanks for your message. I am very pleased to have been given the opportunity to acquire this belt. The dealer had another 2 belts from the same owner and region. However, they were never as beautiful and special as this one. Nevertheless, the other two belts are now with a museum in Paris... With kind regards. Peter

    I agree with those who love this belt: great work and style - and the alternation between the colours is simply wonderful.
