OK just to complete the picture this is the belt buckle. It has eyelets top and bottom so it may be missing some pieces or it has been made to be adapted or it has come from another piece of jewellery??
I think we have now got the date and geographic area nailed. |

Nice item, I had something similar a few years ago but swapped it on for some other stuff. Not at all sure now that I did the smart thing.

Salaams Steve...The huge pendant. This looks like the pendant worn by Turkomen ladies....with two small rings on the top edge for the neck chain and 7 or 8 on the lower edge for the danglers...converted to act as a central belt buckle. Many of the small glass beads...occasionally carnelian are missing. Type into web Turkmen Jewelery ..There are scores of different shapes but you will get the idea...even if like me you cannot find the exact oval shape... I can assure you when I was in Kabul I had a dozen in my hand....with all the danglers intact. Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. Last edited by Ibrahiim al Balooshi; 31st July 2015 at 06:35 PM. |
