Belt - Montenegro

Posted by Peter Hoesli on June 17, 2016 at 3:45pm

A stunning, large and very heavy belt, featuring a silver mesh backing in 7 panels on each of which a filigree bow with glass stones is being arranged. There are 2 pairs of bows and 3 individual bows, looking slightly different. Each of them could be the center piece but there is one considered the main buckle, which is not even the largest of the 7... A one-of-a-kind belt, surely for an extravagant lady...
