Title |
Medieval zoomorphic buckle |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic buckle frame of Medieval date. It is missing part of the outer edge of the frame, bar and pin due to old breaks. The surviving fragment from the outer edge of the frame is in the form of a zoomorphic beast with gaping mouth. At the top of the head is a prominent brow with bulging oval shaped eyes and the incomplete remains of a central projecting nose or snout. The lower half of the gaping mouth is flat, missing its outer edge due to old breaks, and forms a D-shaped aperture with the upper half of the outer edge/head through which a strap or belt may have originally passed. At the back face of the outer edge are the corroded incomplete remains of the sides of the frame, which are flat and rectangular in form, the bar now missing due to old breaks. The entire object has a dark brown patina with some possible iron staining in places. It measures 16.33mm in height, 17.37mm in width, 14.81mm in length, 3.12mm in thickness (at outer edge), and weighs 4.65g.
This is an incomplete buckle frame of Medieval date similar to a number of examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. SF-E1A115, SWYOR-B67986, SWYOR-B57064, WILT-60DE31, ESS-407791, NMS-4A6DC4 and LEIC-385BD8). The type has been studied by A. Rogerson and S. Ashley, who have christened it the 'gaping-mouth beast' buckle. It is the subject of a forthcoming article in Medieval Archaeology (2011). They consider that the head is of Romanesque appearance and so a 12th-century date is likely. |
