Симферопольский клад - [9]
The last belt is more modest. It is made of silver and consists of a buckle, a tip, six rectangular and twenty shaped embossed spangles. With the exception of the shaped spangles all the details of the belt are decorated with enamel and images of an eagle, a dragon and rosettes with geometrical and floral ornament. This belt set has very close analogues among the belts found in burial mounds near village Belorechenskaya in the North Caucasus, showing evidence of the similarity of their origin and the time of use.
The Simferopol treasure stands out among the known treasures of the 13th-15th centuries by the abundance and diversity of the objects it comprises and the high artistic quality of many of them. It is also the largest treasure of dinars of Indian sultans.
Articles of diverse origin in the treasure testify to extensive ties between far-away countries in the period of the Golden Horde.
