Title
Early Medieval : Buckle
Description
English: A large cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle featuring ‘biting beasts’. The buckle is complete and in good condition. The surface is a smooth greenish brown. The artefact was well made with intricate decoration: a decorated pin rests in a square housing on the frame that has a zoomorphic knop. The frame of the buckle is fashioned like the segmented or furry necks of two dragons or other beasts; their jaws grip the bar around which the strap fitted. This artefact dates to the 10th or 11th century.
