I wish we could remove the term "belly dancer" from Numista. It is disrespectful.
It is a common clothing decorative item, from the Ottoman empire.
These adorned respectable ladies, even brides on their wedding dress, as well as entertainers.
There are countless variations of these, and countless threads in this forum asking about them.

​The good news is this is the only item in the Exonumia catalog where the term "belly dancer" is used.

​I agree. These have been used as adornments for clothing in the middle east or as part of a decoration. I find the term "belly dancer" a little insensitive. Maybe 'decretive charm'[?]

​At least everybody understands "belly dancer", but "decretive charm"? Do you mean "decorative charm"?

Okay, thanks. I thought I've missed something because English is not my native language and I didn't know that word.
