Subject:Help Identifying Chinese Scabbard Slide or Belt Buckle
Posted By: Rick Tue, Oct 12, 2021 IP: 72.227.229.225

Hello,

I would appreciate any help in identifying if this would have been used as a sword slide or as a belt buckle. Who is pictured? Any thoughts on the type of stone and age would be welcome, too.

Thank you,
Rick

I am looking at a rather new carving, which has been through some processes to make it look old.
If you are thinking of buying it, don't! It is not an investment.

Thank you for your help, Ernest. I already had the item in my possession, but I paid less than $20 for it, so it wasn't a big loss for me. It is helpful to know what to look for in identifying newer items like this.

Kind regards,
Rick
