Found this a long time ago at a 17th century site, and thought it might be the image of a cherub which was popular during the period. Can anyone confirm or deny this ID? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Clearly part of a very large spectacle buckle. With a face at each end. It's not a design I have seen before, but I can speculate based on similar things I have seen. It was either a matching pair at each end or a strong possibility is a woman's face at one end & a male at the other. To me it's seems more European than British, & 17th C or earlier. (I think that its a Woman with some kind of head gear)
