I'm a little confused when it
comes to this openwork plate. It's the usual what you expect but I noticed a loop on 1 end. I'd think this is where the buckle would have been attached but like Shawn told me last time there supposed to be a metal strip behind it and my own example doesn't have a loop quite like that. There's also a cut made right under the loop but i'm unsure if that was intentional done back then or just a
crack.
As far as the openwork decoration, are it meant to be horses within an elaborate design or is there something i'm not seeing
.
