Antique Ottoman waist belt handcrafted from brass with silver-tone plating, featuring deep blue lapis lazuli stones set in ornate filigree panels. This ceremonial or formal belt likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing traditional Ottoman craftsmanship with hinged segments and repoussé detailing.
The belt has a rich aged patina, with some marks and signs of wear consistent with its age. The blue lapis stones are intact and undamaged, with no chips or cracks. The metal is slightly flexible and has a gentle bend, allowing it to shape comfortably around the waist. A few of the hook grips on the pendants are broken, but when worn, the belt holds together securely and displays beautifully.
