The plate consists of two keepers and the snake shaped hook.

The snake’s body shows details on each side. Both are side views of the snake with a floral decoration at middle.

Brass has a nice mellow patina.

With the buckle is a modern typed label that reads “ENGLISH SNAKE BUCKLE—IMPORTED WITH ENFIELD ACCOUTERMENTS AND WIDELY USED IN THE CONFEDERATE SERVICE AND IN SOME INSTANCES BY FEDERAL TROOPS.”  [ad]
