Rare large ruby red Bakelite buckle, American 1930s

This is a very unusual and large buckle made from ruby red Bakelite, shaped in a semi abstract form with a large rectangular central plaque between two similar smaller plaques each with a stylised openwork foliate device at the ends, the plaques with deeply cut wavy line designs, the reverse plain with metal bar attachment fittings and a curved edge clasp all attached with screws. There are no real parallels for this piece which almost seems like a reinterpretation of ancient Chinese lacquer wares but the angular and abstract design is very much from the Art Deco era.
Size: 16cm x 5cm
Weight: 54.5gm
Date: 1930s
Condition: Very good condition, no issues
Estimate: £60 – 80
