I was out to an old cabin site that is on my 1850 map and gone by 1864 map...now a corn field...so the buckle could have been lost at any time period.
I first thought it was a lady`s Belt Buckle with Cameo image,but after looking at some Cameo Belt buckles ...they don`t look like this image.
She might be wearing a "Turban"... Buckle may be Copper or Brass W 1 7/8" X L 2 1/4" some scroll work and 4 Stars, one in each corner.
Any ideas on what i have ?

Looks like a ladies sash buckle. From the bust and design I would guess it is mid 1800’s. Nice find!
 

That's an amazing find! What a great recovery of a cool piece of history! Well done!
 

Wow very cool find! :icon_thumleft: Congrats!
 

Nice find, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

Nice save. Congrats
 

Pretty cool find! I’d say early to mid 1800s. Wouldn’t that be called a clipped corner buckle?
 

I believe it to be a modified image of Queen Victoria as appearing on British Empire coinage. Note your buckle's lady is wearing a tiara, and it's not a turban, it's a hair do. There is a faint crown etched at the top. I would say this dates your buckle to her early reign. See some coin images I found.
