Copper alloy Victorian part of a British army belt closure. This consists of a circular plate with a rectangular bar attached on the back which has broken. The front of the circular plate has a lion above a crown. It would have been fitted (by a part now missing) to one end of a leather belt. It would have passed through a circular aperture on the other end of the belt to firmly lock the two ends together. The general style, and the shape of the crown, suggest that this is Victorian: perhaps 1860 - 1900.
