Dear All,

It always intrigues me how I can send an e-mail on Monday 24th and get a reply sent on Sunday 23rd.  Sorry, that's a sideline.

The belt on the cover isn't as elaborate as the one on your Web page Linda. It seems to have a threaded in edge design and a double sided SZSZ threaded pattern in the centre, like the patterns in Otfried Staudigel's book but with a geometrical pattern, not figures or animals. It seems to be sewn to a cloth backing and has a metal roundly pointed (?) end piece which looks similar to the jewellery in the photo.
