Description: | A fragment of a medieval copper-alloy brooch or buckle of suggested late 12th to early 13th century AD date (N.Mills, 1999). The object is heavily bent and it is difficult to determine whether the two incomplete arms would have formed a rectangular or circular frame. The undamaged end of the arms converge into a single strand which is bent back on itself and terminates with an inwards-facing animal head. This terminal has a moulded upper surface with ears, snout, brow ridge and eyes clearly visible. The underside is flat. Overall, the object measures 29.7mm long by 16mm wide and 7.8mm high. It weighs 3.89g.
