Victorian buckle with snakes around a vine....Any idean of time period?

[tcornel]

I found this today around a 1850's house grounds. It appears to be a sash buckle with coral and a couple serpents wound around a vine. Can anyone confirm that it is a sash buckle and give me an idea of the time period?

Dimensions are 4" by 2 1/8".

Here are some close ups of the buckle. I did find that the site dates back to the early 1800's.

Thats a sweet buckle. I love the detailed work in them victorian buckles. I found a few complete nice ones but not that type of style or design. Congrats! [emoji106]
