Turkish
army rectangular brass belt buckle with attached white metal circular
badge. This white metal badge features, in relief on a pebbled
background, a crescent moon, the upward facing horns of which enclose
a five pointed star. The entire buckle has been highly polished. The
crescent would have originally contained the arabic script for 'Asakr-i
Shahaneh' meaning 'Imperial Army', but parts of this script have been
erased by polishing. On the underside of the buckle is a rotating
brass rod with two small metal prongs which would have attached to
holes in the leather belt. |
