A West Asia, Eastern Europe belt and accompanying bracelet for the Caucasus market. Polychrome enamel decoration, dominated by blues, on Russian marked silver links. The mark, 84NU, is noted from various sources to indicate Russian silver and Ottoman work. It could have seen Cossack, nomadic or other ethnic use in the region comprising eastern Ukraine, southern Russia, Georgia, eastern Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan or northern Persia. The belt is 59 links plus the clasp buckle and is about 34 3/4 inches long. An accompanying, matching "bracelet" (probably actually spare links to adjust the belt length) is 14 links - about 7 1/4 inches long. Circa 1900. Good condition
