Rare Antique Silver Wedding Belt Asia Islamic Tribal 19th Century

  
A beautiful and ancient wedding belt made of silver from Asia. It can be assumed that this adornment was intended for a very young woman due to its dimensions and local tribal customs. The design is very similar to the ritual belts of the Berbers from the Maghreb, with the patterns on the buckle allowing for differentiation of origin. The craftsmanship is very fine and delicate, with only the patina of use slightly dulling the details. This also makes it easier to date the piece, as there are stamps inside as well. The decorations of royal or divine figures are accompanied by foliage and what appears to be clusters of grapes. Rare to find with cultural similarities despite geographical distance, likely remnants of exchanges along the Silk Road. Dimensions: length 68cm, buckle width 5cm, weight 230g.
