On offer is a beautiful vintage Thai nurse belt buckle, crafted in white metal with intricate figural decoration in high relief. Measuring 4 inches by 2.4 inches, the buckle features a finely pierced openwork design with raised mythological scenes — likely inspired by Thai folklore or the Ramakien, the national epic derived from the Ramayana.

The metal has the appearance of aged silver but bears no visible hallmarks. There is no brass or base metal bleed-through, suggesting it could be low-grade silver or a high-quality silver plate — a typical trait in mid-century Southeast Asian decorative metalwork.

📌 Key Features:
✅ Ornate Thai/Siamese figural motif – likely from the Ramakien
✅ Quality white metal construction – possibly silver plate or low-grade silver
✅ Intricate pierced design with courtly or deity scenes
✅ No visible wear-through or brass tones – solid silver-coloured finish
✅ Mounted on vibrant blue grosgrain ribbon
✅ In good vintage condition – minor surface tarnish consistent with age
✅ Seldom-seen design – tactile and visually compelling

💡 Styling Tip:
Display in a textile frame as wearable art, or repurpose as a one-of-a-kind jewellery component or costume piece. A strong statement in both historical and decorative collections.

🎁 Perfect For:
✔️ Collectors of Thai/Southeast Asian metalwork
✔️ Vintage uniform and ceremonial accessory enthusiasts
✔️ Lovers of meaningful, handcrafted adornment
✔️ Unique gift with cultural character
