Description: | Cast copper alloy buckle with an integral plate. The buckle has an oval frame with a moulded reel at in the centre of the lip. This lip is decorated with five transverse ribs. The integral plate is D-shaped in cross-section, the central portion of which is the extended pin. It is not certain how the pin is secured in the plate, since there are no rivet holes along the sides. The plate has moulded facets at the frame end, and another pair at the loop end. This decoration looks like an abstract animal head biting down onto the loop. The loop is oval. The surface of the buckle appears to have been gilded. The function is not certain, but due to its size it is more likely to be a harness or sword belt buckle rather than a spur buckle.
