Description: | Late Saxon zoomorphic buckle. The buckle has an oval frame which is rectangular in cross-section and decorated entirely with four rows of dots. The frame has a small terminal emerging from one side which is in the form of an elongated animals head. The head is triangular in cross-section and tapers to a flat, rounded snout. The ears are shown by two small triangular pieces of copper alloy at the top of the head; the eyes are circular and domed. At the other end of the frame project two integral rectangular arms, both horizontally pierced and joined by a small pin bar. The pin is still attached to the bar. The pin is copper alloy, triangular in cross-section and tapers to the terminal. The butt-end of the pin is in the form of an animal head similar to the elongated terminal. The animal looks towards the back of the buckle, in the opposite direction to the other. The rest of the pin is narrowed and undecorated. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
