Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle. The buckle has a narrowed and off-set strap bar, with a pin recess. The outer edge of the frame is wide. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. The terminals of the D-shaped frame extend beyond the strap bar, with elaborate zoomorphic heads. These have been formed from an up turned snout, mouth detail and raised eyes. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a light greenish-brown colour and is heavily pitted. This type of buckle dates from the early-medieval period. It probably dates to the late 8th - 10th century.
