Early-medieval buckle |

| Description |
English: An incomplete copper alloy buckle of probable Early medieval date. The buckle is semi-circular in plan and features a sub-triangular pin rest protruding from the centre of the frame within which is a sub-triangular groove and which features four transverse grooves which run parallel to each other. The pin is missing. One arm of the frame features a decoration of a series of five ridges, each of which is separated from the last by a groove and is a little wider and thicker than the last. The frame terminates in a zoomorphic representation, possibly of a serpent head which terminates in an old break. The head is sub-triangualr in shape and is decorated by two curved grooves which depict the eye. A third groove depicts the line of the mouth which is partly open, the head terminating in an upper and lower jaw. The opposite arm of the frame terminates in an old break. Three ridges are visible and it is probably that this arm would have been symmetrical.
The buckle measures 49.69mm in length, is 7.11mm thick at its thickest point, 4.64mm thick at its narrowest point and weighs 12.88g. |
