[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 583070, member: 2844"]I get the feeling the phoenix could be replacing something else that may have been lost. It is a different colour, and looks a bit out of place. It looks handmade and the details are chased. Maybe a Peranakan silversmith added the bird to a Japanese belt?:playful: The lobed surround is also chased, with that twisting technique, I don't know the name. The blossoms and clovers look dye cast or a similar larger scale manufacturing technique, you can see the lower left part of the leaf has the same detail missing on both these clover leaves: [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/belt04-jpg.174927/[/IMG] All in all a gorgeous belt, possibly multi-cultural.:D Maybe [USER=1496]@Hollyblue[/USER] can see if the two are a marriage?[/QUOTE]
