unusual snake buckle - help ID

[wolf74623]

I have found several snake buckles that we are use to seeing with and without the keepers however this is a first it looks English to me and possible 1700 but can anyone give a definite ID on this piece - found today also heavy brass and looks sand cast

Unusual but definitely not 18th C. Looks more 20th C in design to me.
