Nurses' Belt Buckle

Hospital usually gave, or sold, a badge to show that they
had qualified there.
It is the tradition for trained nurses to wear a buckle on their belt;
this is usually silver and is often Victorian.
This is the only bit of individuality that was allowed in a nurse's uniform.
The buckles are normally worn with a black petersham belt
(petersham being a kind of material).

flowers, scrollwork and scallops
integrated into the design. Large open cartouche suitable for
