    Just fabulous Peter.. I cannot imagine how much time was spent to make this piece of art. The Buckle is just a museum piece. So are the belt pieces of fine filigree.... Your collection is great. Your belt collection I think is the greatest... Thanks for posting yet another master piece for us to enjoy and appreciate..

    Wow, this is exceptional, Peter. Excellent craftsmanship. I agree with Mustafa. Is it gilded as well?

    Dear Mustafa and Thelma; Many thanks for your comments. Yes, it is alternatively gilded- both the buckle as well as the remaining belt. I will post some more items shortly... With kind regards. Peter
