Bokhara style silver enamel and coral belt

We collected this silver enamel, gilded silver and coral bead belt in Afghanistan in 1975. It was made in what was then part of the USSR in possibly the 1950s or 60s.More information on this item athttp://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/craftsofthepast/3920749/

I love the niello touches! Necklace, I'm assuming?
