Vintage lion head belt buckle gold tone hook closure Italian Neo Renaissance

charming, highly detailed Italian Neo-renaissance style belt buckle. The lion heads are nicely rendered and have inset faceted pink eyes. The buckle is fairly heavy, but it does not have a maker's mark. It would make a nice addition to a fancy, Dynasty inspired dress or could be repurposed for crafting. :) The buckle measures about 3 3/8 x 1 7/8 and it would comfortably accommodate a belt 1 1/4 in width. Structurally, this buckle is in good vintage condition, but there is some noticeable surface wear. Please look carefully at the images. Priced accordingly. Perfect for everyday use. excellent materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
