Snake

[witgar]

hi everyone,

A few months ago I've found this snake in Russia but it got back in my mind today.
It sure looks bronze. It's about 5-6cm long.
Can anyone date this? It reminds me of the golden horde culture but i'm not sure at all.

friendly greetings

You have one half of a snake buckle. I don't have a pic but you should be able to Google it.

I dont know the date because they were widely used but duggap is correct.

indeed, thanks.
I didn't see a hole so it couldn't be a pendant but you're right.

Classic 'Snake' Buckle piece. As previously mentioned, quite difficult to date, as they were propular for many hundreds of years & even used today. Although I think its fairly safe to say yours looks mid-1800s or earlier.

Very nice find in my books

It would look something like this complete.

It would look something like this complete.

sometimes more elabrate fixings as well. ie the snake's tail hooking into a 'Lions' mouth.
