Yep, know what you mean, though some early magyar types are really hard to distinguish. Interestingly this belt which I modeled and cast share a very similiar plaque? As you can see the pendant plaque is almost spot on. These were copied from a khazar mould for plaques found in Kiev circa 9thc . I havent got a scanner otherwise I would scan the article.

Cheers

Nick my belt was based on B716 :-) which was found in Birka. So bulls eye:-) It was Khazarian more than Hungarian ( its slightly different than magyar examples different kind of flowers and plants:-) )

Excellent Nick !

My belt and yours looks almost like twin brothers. Its even the same teritory I think . Kiev one of my favourites places, great founds:-) Thanks Nick. Can you just please let me know which book about Khazars or Nomads it was?

Yep as soon as I get it back I will forward the title etc,,,,, though I think its a article more so than a book but I cant quite remember. There is also another great khazar belt in the same article.

Do you have "Ancient Hungarians" ?

Yes Nick I have "Ancient Hungarians" As well i have Murashyeva" Typology of Eraly Medieval Belts" ( my russian is on the basic level so the title sounds almost like that) Send me a priv if you are intrested:-)

My Russian is non existent, my friend Artem has translated Murashevja in English for us. I really love the metal work of the peoples we have been talking about, its fantastic!

Also my friend Pete has a great site you may be interested in?http://www.birkatraders.com/test/index.php. He has has made a wonderful reproduction of the Gnezdovo belt.

enjoy

Im actually trying to find some good books on Khazar finds? Searching has proved to be fruitless. Really annoying figuring the importance of the culture at the time.
