Description: | Cast cu-alloy buckle and plate dating to the 14th/15th century AD. Whilst half of the oval-shaped buckle is broken off, the plate itself is complete. It is of rectangular shape and help the terminal of a leather strap. The strap was attached with two rivets with square heads - they are still in place. While the reverse of the plate it plain and undecorated, the obverse is decorated with a crudely incised animal, judging from the snout, possibly a boar. The animal's eye is oval and fur is indicated by pitting. The two extremities depicted seem to terminate in spiky claws.
