✅ SOLVED What is this?

I found this detecting yesterday and have no idea what it is. At first I thought it was a buckle but the center tongue is stationary . Penny for size reference. It is brass and looks like it was gilded at one time. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like a buckle to me.

The tongue doesn't move so I don't know. Could be an odd ball buckle.

It could be for a Belt or Sash with holes on each end Or a Hair piece for holding a hair design in place

Hello everyone, I am new here. My name is Viorel I'm from South Korea.

This is an antique Victorian Belt Buckle Brooch. It's missing the pin from the back side.

I have attached an example... sorry for my poor English

Hope it helps.
