Buckle
Brass-plated belt buckle bears the 'Haunted House' motif. The image of a female silhouette haunting the Houses of Parliament represents the growth of the campaign for female suffrage.

The buckle is a design taken from the picture of the Haunted House, and the belt is a ribbon in the colours of the Union'.
