Description: | Incomplete elaborate Medieval copper alloy enamelled fragment, probably from a buckle plate. Only the corner survives of the plate, which appears to have been originally square or rectangular. The surface is decorated with an elaborate enamelled motif comprising a centaur or dragon going left. The fragment has a deep perimeter chanel containing red enamel. In the corner is the hind-left foot of the animal, with what is probably an upward curving tail above to the right. The foot is crescentric and the hind is formed by a series of curves and recesses that would probably have contained enamel. The plate is probably a product of Limoge. Cf. Enamels of Limoges 1100-1350 (New York 1996) 287. Late 12th - early 13th century.
