Description: | An elaborate cast copper alloy buckle of medieval date. The frame of the openwork buckle is D-shaped, three dimensional and concave on the underside. It measures 35.23mm by 24.38mm by 18.24mm and weighs 11.33g. The back consists of a fairly thin flat D-shaped band of copper alloy, the straight edge of which is narrowed. The pin is missing. Projecting from the front of the frame there are three moulded animals, probably dogs, in Romanesque style. The central dog, which is standing facing left, is largest. The small dogs both face towards the large dog, all with heads looking forward. To keep the animals in place there is an inner band of copper alloy. There are also two linear struts on the outside of each of the two small dogs. The Romanesque style of this buckle dates it to the eleventh or twelth centuries AD (pers. comm. Geoff Egan). | 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: | 1000
