<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 250579, member: 2844&quot;]Gorgeous!</p><p>It is a woman&#039;s belt from Dagestan (Daghestan) in the Caucasus. Here is a silver one:</p><p><a href="http://abrishams.com/gallery/antique-collection/antique-silver-jewellery/antique-belt.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://abrishams.com/gallery/antique-collection/antique-silver-jewellery/antique-belt.html" rel="nofollow">http://abrishams.com/gallery/antique-collection/antique-silver-jewellery/antique-belt.html</a></p><p>The initials B and U should be read as Cyrillic, maybe the owner&#039;s initials.

Here is a thread with info on testing:</p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/recommendations-for-testing-kits-please.18018/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/recommendations-for-testing-kits-please.18018/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/recommendations-for-testing-kits-please.18018/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A great jewellery making centre in Dagestan is Kubachi, your belt may have been made there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
