Gold-colored plated metal buckles with similar Nouveau-style sinuous design motifs but different hardware. Each buckle is an open frame comprised of an oval with engraved parallel lines at each of the pointed ends. At one pointed end of each oval a pair of branches or arms meet to form a triangle. Each arm is engraved with parallel lines and ends in a rounded terminal that faces the buckle point. The buckles are vertically oriented to form a rough triange, with the point at the base. One buckle (A) attached to a cloth or leather belt with a pair of metal bars soldered to the back. The other (B), smaller buckle has a central post with a pair of teeth.
