Description: | Copper alloy 16th century hooked belt fastener in the form of an 'S' shaped snake. The hook has cast decoration on both sides and is rounded on the top and bottom. On the front surface the buckle is decorated with snake scales and a snakes head terminal and on the underneath with parallel lines to imitate the snakes skin. Around the loop created by the head of the snake there is a free moving copper alloy loop. It measures 41mm in length and 21.5mm in width and weighs 16.31g. Similar parallels can be seen in Detector Finds 3, G Bailey p.21 figs.1-6.
