    Thank you for the pictures. It's amazing how even the back is lovingly decorated .

    Yes I found another box (nipple) made around same time by same maker and also highly decorated in the back. Just as a general observation that from 1895 to 1914 the quality and workmanship on these type of Cossack belts were in their glory.

    Now I know what your box reminded me of... I had seen the picture of the other one you just posted on ebay (a seller from Turkey, I believe?) before. It's a small world sometimes.

    Both pieces are really wonderful, and it is said that all these skills fell into obscurity.
