Title |
Early-medieval buckle (reverse) |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle frame from the early-medieval period. When complete this ornate frame would have been sub-rectangular in plan; it has since been broken and the remnant distorted. We have now been left with one of the original shorter sides decorated with a zoomorphic head at each end (10.5mm in length, 7.7mm in width). Each head is located at the point at which the side meets the inside and outside edges; the heads extend beyond the frame. Ears are formed by two drilled holes. There are incised longitudinal lines from the ears to the snout. Lozengiform eyes within incised ovals are found on the side of the beasts' heads. The mouth is formed by two incised transverse lines. The side between the two heads is decorated with squares in relief. The opposing side, small elements of the outer and inside edges and the pin are all missing. The outer edge features a (formerly central) grooved pin rest which is pointed and projects outwards. The billeted decoration between the heads, along with the heads themselves, can be paralleled in Viking 'Borre' style art. This suggests a 9th or 10th century date for this artefact. This is an unusual form for a buckle of this date (the common form being 'D' shaped - see e.g. Hinton 1974, 60; ref. 32), although a complete parallel can be found on this database, ref. HAMP-BA9FC0, LVPL-99FBD2. |
