Descrizione
Bronze coloured buckle. Group of eleven cricketers, eight standing and three seated with 'OUR ELEVEN' inscribed below.
Brass and guilt buckles were introduced in the 1850s, belts and sashes were early sort-after fashion accessories and soon became an important part of cricket attire. These buckles would have been fitted to a canvass belt often printed with a cricket design. By 1868 belts were out of fashion and were replaced by elastic bands. However belts and sashes in appropriate Club colours continued to be worn for scorecard identification.
