Art Nouveau Silver Belt Buckle Cloak or Sweater Clasp

Used by the Druids as a symbol of everlasting life, Mistletoe was thought to aid in fertility. Being green year round, and bearing fruit at the time of the WInter Solstice led to the tradition of hanging Mistletoe in the home at Christmastime and replacing it the next year. Art Nouveau adopted the sensual and vigorous plant as one of it's repeated themes. This exceedingly lovely French Art Nouveau belt buckle is French and bears French marks.
