Title |
Early medieval buckle |
||
Description |
English: Chunky D-shaped buckle frame with an animal head at each end of the loop and at the pin rest, and an inset bar. The bar has a lump of iron corrosion at one end, probably from the pin. The animal heads are three-dimensional but rather simplified; although each has a pair of deeply drilled eyes, the rest of the decoration just consists of grooves running down the snout. The larger head, at the pin rest, has a V-shaped nick between the eyes which would have acted as a groove for the pin; this head has some iron corrosion. The rest of the loop is a pointed oval in cross-section, angled slightly to give a more three-dimensional feel. It is decorated with three to four longitudinal grooves, forming five ridges in between. The grooves are made by rocking an engraver back and forth very slightly. The second and fourth ridges are interrupted in each half of the loop by three very short transverse grooves. In size and shape this buckle is very similar to one from the Ashmolean Museum (Hinton 1974, no. 32), but the details of decoration along the loop are different. The dating of these buckles is not easy due to the simple decoration of the animal heads, but is probably 9th to 11th century. |
