Need help with Antique Asian Silver Belts! Chinese? Japanese? Thank you!

Greetings to these boards! I hope I'm in the right place for assistance with these awesome antique Pieces. They belong to a jeweler who thinks they are antique Asian belts; 900 Silver. Would love to know all I can, as I may be listing them for him. 🙂 The most amazing piece is the heavy belt with the attached "purse"? What is this object?? Reminds me of a Samurai belt?! I hope the photos are good enough. There are cuff bracelets too. And a Repousse Silver purse I didn't take a photo of. This is out of my area of "expertise", so appreciate any help!! Many thanks!!Asian Belt.JPGAsian Belt Flask.JPGBelts.JPGBelt buckle.JPGAsian Belt 002.JPGSilver Cuff.JPG

Not Japanese - I am sure of that. Some of the design themes, such as a sage riding a deer, are popular throughout Asia and the Middle East. Then there are the elephants - something you often see in souvenirs brought back from Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.

Thank you for your help! But do you know any more about them?  Mostly their age? Glad to find out all I can. And could you tell me more about the images you see? Thanks so much! 🙂
