Description: | An unusual composite buckle plate, comprising a cast D-sectioned D-shaped frame, slightly bent, both angles between the straight outside edge and the sides of which have an internal semi-circular expansion to accommodate a globular-headed copper alloy rivet. The mid point of the curved inside edge of the frame is expanded internally in the form of a cusped concave sided point with an opposed stylised animal-head projecting from the outer edge, between which is a further perforation containing a globular-headed copper alloy rivet. The three rivets attach a crumpled and broken sheet back-plate that has been cut and folded widthways to produce twin loops for the missing buckle frame, one of which is now missing. Measures 30mm x 34mm. 12th century.
