Early Medieval Buckle |

| Description |
English: Early Medieval copper alloy buckle, probably of 12th century date
The buckle is near complete, missing the pin (with a length of 52.0mm, a width of 55.9mm, a depth of 8mm and a weight of 44.9g). The form of the buckle is D-shaped with the ends of the frame enhanced with beast's heads protruding to the rear. The beats are depicted with large raised circular eyes on the sides, below a moulded undulating brow. The bar is of rounded D-shaped section (with a width and thickness of 5 -6mm) and is convex across its length. The frame is of sub triangular section (4mm thick) and is bevelled towards the outside edge. The frame is narrowest near the bar (at 12.8mm) and gradually widens to the midpoint (where it has a width of 20.8mm). The midpoint of the frame has a prominent sub-triangular raised moulding containing a central recess to accommodate the missing pin. The frame is decorated with a panel each side of the central notch, contained within an incised border. The heavy surface corrosion has largely obscured the design, which may have depicted incised interlaced beasts. The surface of the buckle is heavily corroded with a pale green corrosion product overlying areas of red-brown metal. The buckle has proved difficult to closely parallel and may be seen as unusual. The zoomorphic attributes suggest an Early Medieval date, possibly of a devolved Late Saxon style. The possible interlace panel terminating in a beast's head is reminiscent of Late Saxon strap-ends dating from the 9th to 12th centuries |
