A large group of gold fittings of this period can be found in the Hermitage, St Petersburg (Komaroff, L. and S. Carboni (eds.), The Legacy of Gengis Khan: Courtly Art and Culture in Western Asia 1256 - 1353, pp. 66-67, fig. 62, and p. 274, no. 143). The Hermitage belt was found near Gashun Uta, Southern Russia, as part of the funerary regalia of a senior member of the family of Batu (1227 - 1255), the founder of the Golden Horde. A group of fittings also depicting a dragon were sold through these rooms (Bonhams, Islamic and Indian Art, 16th October 2003, lot 312).
