Description: | Copper alloy object, most likely a buckle possibly of Late Saxon date. The frame appears to be broken off at each side. At each break the frame bears moulded decoration, possibly zoomorphic in the form of an animal head. Behind each head the frame continues with three moulded roundrels tapering slightly. In the centre of the outside edge there is a moulded pin rest. The moulding may form a further zoomorphic element in the form of an animal head, with the snout extending beyond the edge of the frame, and the ears forming raised elements on the outer edge creating a recess between serving as a pin rest. The zoomorphic elemets of the object bears incised linear decoration, perhaps intended to denote facial features. The frame is generally oval in section. Mid-green patina. | 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: | 901
