This type of belt is quite uncommon and not that many pieces are in circulation. 19th Century.

I just love this belt. The segments are really fantastic. I particularly like the arrangement of the petals of the flowers, which also look like eyes. Great find Peter!!

So do I! It is fabulous and very solid looking. Congratulations, Peter!
