Yahya Tayyib - Buckle of a Girdle - Walters 572326

The front of the arch-shaped buckle is decorated with in filigree technique with spiral and tendril arabesques as well as small rosette-shaped granulation clusters; at the center of the decoration is a large eight-leaf rosette. A small perforation was used to attach the buckle to the girdle.
The back is blank except an Arabic stamp with name and date of the ruler: al-Mansur 11xx. The stamp belongs to Imam al-Mansur al-Husayn, who lived from AH 1139 to 1161 (AD 1727-1748).

An engraved inscription in Hebrew names the silversmith: Yahya Tayyib (?), siyyur (?).
