Title |
Drawing of early medieval buckle |
||
Description |
English: D-shaped copper-alloy buckle frame. The bar is inset, circular in section and now broken (old break). The loop is a low triangle in cross-section and is bent, probably due to the same force which broke the bar; the bend has not caused stress to the metal and probably took place quite early in the buckle's life. The loop is decorated with three animal heads, one larger in the centre of the outer edge and one smaller at either end of the loop beyond the bar. Each head is roughly triangular, with a pair of rounded ears emphasised by large and deep drilled dots. The smaller heads have no other features added, but the larger head has a transverse groove beneath the ears and then some further grooves which run towards the pointed nose. Between the animal heads, each facet has a row of shallow dots which in some cases are elongated into ovals or short grooves. Width as bent, 43 mm; original width probably c. 48 mm. A similar buckle is known from Old Sarum, Wiltshire (now in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum; Hinton 1974, no. 32, citing parallels from Winchester and Lindisfarne). The animal heads are similar to those on strap-ends and date the buckle to the 9th century. |
