Description: | Cast cu-alloy buckle and plate dating to the 14th/15th century AD. Whilst half of the oval-shaped buckle is broken off, the plate itself is complete. It is of rectangular shape and help the terminal of a leather strap. The strap was attached with two rivets with square heads - they are still in place. While the reverse of the plate it plain and undecorated, the obverse is decorated with a crudely incised animal, judging from the snout, possibly a boar. The animal's eye is oval and fur is indicated by pitting. The two extremities depicted seem to terminate in spiky claws. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
