What's on the back? Looks like part of a buckle maybe?

Digger, concaved. Got me stumped though. Something off a horse saddle or harness decoration maybe?

Mike its half side to a "butterfly" sash buckle these were very popular from the Victorian era to just up until the 1920's and they came in many designs , themes and metal compositions . here is a similar whole one to show you the two parts and how they connect. Also a picture of a traditional sash buckle worn on a woman's dress of that era

Yup, 100% sure it's half a sash buckle like Dan showed. I'd say being ornate, it'd be Victorian era. Prob more of a dressy style being a 'light duty' design.

Wow you guys are great, thanks guys,:notworthy: Awesome web site. while looking on the net for sashes I found I had another one. :duh: needs some cleaning.

Wow , that one looked like it may have had glass stones mounted on the little tabs , this one i'm pretty sure is also Victorian but its made to look older like a Georgian era sash . Its a very nice piece Mike
