Description: | Medieval buckle; cast copper alloy buckle plate of probable 13th or 14th century date. The plate is formed of a single sheet folded back on itself. The front plate is decorated with a moulded beast in high relief. The beast is heading left and looking back over its back. There are traces of gilding on the front face. The back plate is undecorated. The whole is held together with two copper alloy rivets at the terminal end, both of which are still in situ. There are traces of some organic material, possibly leather, within the buckle plate.
