St Piran flag oval buckle (bu225)
Beaten pewter with cold enamel flag design. This buckle has a hinged bar for the belt to clip onto and the other end has a strong prong to push through the hole in the belt.
St Piran is the patron saint of tin miners and also the national saint of Cornwall. St Piran rediscovered tin-smelting when his black hearthstone, which was evidently a slab of tin-bearing ore, had the tin smelt out of it and rise to the top to form a white cross. From this came the St Piran flag which is the white cross on the black background that you can see all over Cornwall today. St Piran's day is celebrated annually on 5 March.
Width: 83mm Height: 60mm For belt width: 40mm (1.5 inch)
Supplied in a velvet draw-string pouch.
