Title |
Medieval buckle |
||
Description |
English: Medieval buckle frame of extraordinary form, trapezoidal, with the outside edge consisting of a huge animal head with a longitudinal oval aperture formed by the open mouth, obliquely angled sub-triangular-sectioned sides with multiple oblique grooves on convex face and globular knop at both ends of a straight narrowed bar. There is a triangular perforation in the base of the animal-head near the inner edge forming a pin-bar that retains a corroded fragment of an iron pin. The animal head carries elaborate cast moulded detail of ears, possible mane, deep transverse grooves on the brow, a transversely segmented snout and two lines of engraved notches around the open mouth, the outer ones of which are finely engraved. The almond-shaped eyes both have a concave setting, one of which retains a rounded pellet of dark blue glass. The strap must have passed through the open mouth of the beast. The buckle is closely paralleled by an example from Ludham (HER 24864), and another with glass eyes appears in Benet's Artifacts (2003), p. 454, M12-0125 (unprovenanced). Others of similar form have been found in Grimston (HER 29404), Loddon (HER13009), Lingwood and Burlingham (HER 37309), Narford (HER 29797), Oxborough (HER 32985) and Woodton (HER 50163). Length 30mm. Width 20mm. Height / thickness 15mm. 12th century. |
