Here's a similar piece in gold which I saw at the museum of Straits Chinese jewellery in Melaka, Malaysia.
That's one impressive buckle, Preethi - very sculptural. Congratulations!
Dear Preethi: Wonderful - Congratulations! I have one which is made out of steel, silver and gold (the animals are in gold) plus rough diamonds (one is missing). The nice thing is that I have been able to also purchase the actual belt with it, which I have never seen again - only the buckles are usually for sale. Below is the photo... With kind regards. Peter
The workmanship on these is amazing. I posted one some time back.
