Title
Early Medieval buckle
Description
English: A cast copper alloy Early Medieval buckle dating from c. 900- 1100 AD.

It is D-shaped in plan with a narrowed strap bar. The terminals of the loop are zoomorphic in form with the strap bar connecting two heads of animals; their mouths are open, almost as though they are biting the bar.

These are stylised animals seen on various objects from this period and could be dogs/dragons/dolphins; it is difficult to see. They have a rounded head with inset eyes and an elongated snout.

There is a transverse notch for the pin of the apex of the loop. The pin and plate are missing. The buckle has a reddish patina and is very worn. Compare SWYOR-F075E4, DUR-F45F98 and YORYM-667D71.
