Can anyone identify or name this intricate type of metal jewelry work?

This, I believe, an antique shoe buckle, about 2.5 inches long. On the surface there are hundreds of faceted pieces of metal http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/504/1000592o.jpg , but what's fascinating is turning it over to find that each of those hundreds of pieces of metal is actually riveted to a frame!
