old copper

[Cheese]

I need help please in identification.

 

[user 794]

I'd say a cricket buckle.
Are there any connecting bits at the back? They may have broken off.
Anyway - Congrats a great find!

Does it have a knife edge on the top of the crescent?

Cheese, all I can offer is go back and look for the head,..lovely find though.

 

[Cheese]

I did look for his head.lol.
I would say that this cricketer was part
of presentations after a game of Cricket,
"I need to know the age of this piece", 1870?.
And yes the head looks to be snapped off
not cut, Interesting.

[Cheese]

Yes the back is the second pic, and it is about 2inches tall.
soz for using feet and inches but, I never broke the habit.
