Shaped as a bat with wings fully extended, this silver belt buckle captures a moment of suspended flight. Fine lines trace the delicate structure of the wings, while subtle modelling defines the small head and upright ears. Three fastening prongs are positioned within the hollow body, integrated carefully into the design without interrupting the visual flow. Rooted in the late nineteenth-century tradition of naturalistic design, the piece combines lifelike imagery with functional craftsmanship, reflecting a movement to integrate organic forms into everyday objects that continued into the early twentieth century.
