This buckle is solid cast; the back is uncarved but is polished for smoothness. The design of confronted animals in profile recalls the outline of motifs found in Central Asian and Sichuan silks excavated from Tibetan tombs in the Kokonor region, where similar designs were also found on silver vessels. The size of the buckle is relatively large for a belt, while the hole through which a leather or fabric belt would pass is very small. The lion in Tibet at this period was a symbol of the Buddha as well as of the authority of the Tibetan sovereigns, and the lotus pedestals which support these lions would seem to indicate a Buddhist context. This lion buckle may therefore have been designed not for wearing on the body, unless perhaps as a fixture to a purse worn at the waist, but rather to tie the string or silk ribbons which retain the loose leaves of volumes of Tibetan Buddhist scriptures. ❤Packaging &Shipping: As per our Product nature, we do the packaging.
