Description: | Buckle frame fragment of Anglo-Saxon date, probably dating from the 5th to 8th century. The frame is broken at both ends and has a moulded animal head projection erupting from above the thinning of the frame at the junction with the bar. The buckle was probably D-shaped, and is originally likely to have had a buckle plate. The frame beyond the animal head is plain and of oval section. The animal head is asymmetrical about its width with incised eyes crowned on one side with transverse markings. The snout is dished on both sides and is angled upwards, possibly suggesting an open mouth biting on the bar. The underside of the buckle displays coarse file marks. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 410
