This paper discusses a bronze belt currently kept in Orumiyeh Museum; its distinctive morphology and decoration are closely paralleled by another belt found in the area of Gargul, Piranshahr, not so long ago. The iconography of this belt shows a possible Assyrian influence, while the artefact itself is clearly of Southern Caucasian derivation; regarding a particular feature concerning its clasp it resembles specimens found in level IV of the Hasanlu site. The belt studied displays a perfect synthesis of local and exogenous traditions; the cultural characterization of its area of origin is still to be defined
