Description: | Copper alloy late Saxon or Anglo-Scandinavian buckle probably dating to around the 9th century. The buckle is triangular. The strap bar is narrowed and circular in section, opposite the strap bar where the point of the triangle is located, there is a zoomorphic terminal; this part of the buckle frame is thickened. The animal head terminal has two pronounced raised ears each with a dot, and a squarish snout. A similar example dated to the 9th century can be seen in 'Anglian and other finds from Fishergate' by N Rogers, Fig.650, No.5314. The animal head terminal on the cited example is almost identical although the pin bar is split. The buckle weighs 5.4g and measures 27.92mm in length, 27.56mm in width and 4.56mm in thickness.
