  • Beautiful! A belt?

  • I looked up this belt and it was used by men primarily for attachment of a watch. I have found this style both in Bulgarian and Albanian books and this region shares many of the same types of pieces or that the pieces are cataloged as same. 

  • Photo of this being worn as a shoulder decoration by a revolutionary Bulgarian soldier.
