Description: | Medieval buckle frame of extraordinary form, with a straight bar and sides but an outside edge consisting of a huge animal head with a longitudinal aperture formed by the open mouth. The aperture is sub-rectangular above the bar and oval at the mouth. The animal head carries moulded details of eyes and triangular ears. There is a pronounced median rib that in the area of the brow is flanked by a pair of grooves. The strap must have passed through the open mouth. Six parallels have been noted, from Grimston, Loddon, Lingwood and Burlingham, Ludham, Narford and Oxborough. Length 23mm. Width 25mm. Height / thickness 21mm. Perhaps 12th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
