Description: | Small decorative shoe buckle probably dating to the medieval period (1100-1250 AD) and Romanesque in style. The buckle has a roughly circular frame; one half appears to represent a standing person and the other half a beast with the buckle pin dividing the two. The pin is complete and is set in a recess on the frame so that it does not move. There are several small holes around the edge of the frame but it is unclear as to whether these were functional (perhaps to sew the buckle to leather) or purely decorative. The buckle weighs 2.06 and measures 16.6mm in length, 16.27mm in width and 3.5mm in thickness. Some examples of small circular framed shoe buckle (of a less decorative type) can be seen in 'Dress Accessories' by Geoff Egan. Fig. 38, Nos. 55, 72, 88.
