Only the present design depicts insects, while the others feature bleeding hearts, a marguerite and the fourth entitled Renaissance is more geometric and 'architectural' in style. Marcilhac in the catalogue raisonné (2011 edition) lists the belt as comprising 18 elements, however, this belt has 20 beads.
