Title
IOW-C73527 Medieval Zoomorphic Buckle
Description
English: An incomplete Medieval zoomorphic cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle (c. 1400-c. 1500 AD).

The pin is missing.

The frame is moulded at the front and flat at the rear.
In plan, it is lyre-shaped and each side curving side is in the form of an animal, probably a dolphin. They are addorsed and their heads meet at the centre of the outer edge where there is a small trefoil knop. Each tail forms the corner of the bar. A circular depression forms eyes and a similar depression is situated at each tail. These are cells for decorative material that has been lost. The bar is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear.

This buckle is corroded and has traces of black lacquer.

25.01 x 24.60 x 2.16mm. Weight: 2.79g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Isle of Wight
