A scalloped, rectangular cloisonnÃ© enamel belt buckle features a central circle containing a layered red and yellow flower on white. Dark blue panels flank this, decorated with red and yellow flowers and turquoise foliage. Gold metal strips outline each vibrant shape. At the bottom, two turquoise loops branch from a small white point with red and dark blue details. The symmetrical design is framed by bright gold edges, creating a horizontal composition.
