Description: | An incomplete copper alloy D-shaped buckle with openwork decoration. The curved outside edge widens towards the centre and has raised ornament surrounding oval or circular holes. This may be zoomorphic in nature, with two opposed quadrupeds in the centre of the buckle frame. There are raised sub-circular protrusions either side of the central circular hole, possibly representing animal heads, with a semi-circular moulding below that may be the conjoined paws of the animals. On the more complete side, the frame appears to narrow to a terminal knop, where a separate bar may once have been attached. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
