This Indonesian buckle from the island of Java is diamond-shaped, with pointed edges on either end and a gently scalloped top and bottom. The front of the buckle is convex, so that it bulges slightly toward you, and it is covered with an ornate, raised silver design (called chasing). Starting from the outside edge of the front of the buckle and moving toward the center, you first see a band of narrow beading, then an area with flowers and plants in a swirling motif, then a circular area of beading that surrounds more swirling flowers and plants, and finally a smaller circular area with one round row of tiny tombstone-shaped pieces outside of another round row of beading. At the center of the front of the buckle is a little dome without a design. The back of the buckle, which is undecorated, has a square piece in the center with letters and numbers on it (EDE- / INN-/ 182), to which the dome on the front is attached, and a larger square piece surrounding it, through which a belt could be threaded.
