Thanks. I am more interested though in the origin of the belt and approximate date than i am the materials. Thought it would be awesome if it tested as silver.

I would love a few other guesses on this one if anybody has them.

What about Caucasus origin with Ottoman influence (that kind of "cornflower" ...). I don´t have any idea about the age, but I would guess older than turn of 19/20 centuries.

This appears to be the 8 petal White Lotus which is better explained at http://www.harekrsna.de/Lotus-FLower.htm as a suggestion to the Indian nature of the item.

Nail and nail - hmmm. My guess is that it is Indian - but I must say that I am guessing.

Thanks for your input gentleman.
Anyone care to place this in an era?
