Title
IOW-1D9A04 Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) to Medieval Zoomorphic Buckle
Description
English: A complete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) to Medieval single-looped zoomorphic buckle (c. 1000-c. 1100 AD).

This Ringerike style frame is 'D'-shaped in plan, moulded at the front and mainly flat at the rear. The outer edge has a projecting knop that appears to be the snout of a moulded stylised beast's head. At each corner of the inner edge there is a rearwards facing 'beak' or mouth with an eye in the form of a pellet. These two features are similar. The bar has a length of 14.6mm, a width of 3.6mm and a thickness of 3.1mm. The complete copper-alloy pin has a tapering shaft and is rectangular in cross-section throughout its length. Its overall length is 14.7mm and the width at the loop is 3.0mm.
The object has traces of a green patina and the surface of the metal is drab matt reddish brown.
Frame: 27.2 x 25.1 x 3.5mm.
Weight: 7.01g.
A similar buckle has been recorded from Meols (Griffiths, Philpott and Egan 2007: 62. Pl. 8, ref: 307).
Similar buckles have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: DENO-0F2314; KENT-BAF066 and NMS-4A2416.
