I can see where this is coming from John but these reconstructions have been made not exactly as that which has been put forward by Cesar on the same subject at an earlier page. In the picture Cesar has shown there is definately a clothes fastner of which I have several types, I have not read the paper on these suggestions by Dr. Christian Miks so I'd be reluctant to give any comment. However if what Cesar has put forward is the correct style of object that Miks is refering to, then it would appear that some one who has reproduced what you show is expanding on what is as yet only a theory. For what you show are studs that appear to be made up from plates with rings at the back of the belt, discs on the front with a rivet going thro' to hold them together.
