Description: | Near complete Medieval cast copper alloy buckle with zoomorphic integral plate and ornate subrectangular frame, possibly of 14th century date. The sides of the buckle frame taper towards the outside edge of the frame, which gently curves towards a prominent lip, incorporating a notch for the pin. The pin is triangular and flat in profile, with the suggestion of two transverse markings around the pin. The plate is thick but relatively slender in relation to the frame. The plate depicts a beast, probably a dog biting, on the broken attachment at the terminal. The reverse of the buckle is flat with the slit to house the pin extending nearly as far back as the rivet hole.
