Description: | A cast, copper alloy, Late Anglo-Saxon single loop buckle dating from 900 - 1100 AD. The buckle frame is D shaped. The outer edge of the loop has a protruding, zoomorphic pin rest in the shape of a flattened animal's head. There are two citcular depressions representing the ears, two short, angled grooves representing the eyes and a transverse groove delineating the nose. There is a small depression in the back of the head to take the pin. The pin is missing. The buckle has a dark green patina. It is 22.7mm long, 22.5mm wide and 3.2mm thick. It weighs 3.29gm. Similar examples on the database are SWYOR-E29015, SF-76F478 SF-79DAF8 and WMID1681. A close parallel is number 310 on page 62 of Meols (2007) which cites dating evidence. A clearly related form but with additional projections for a separate bar (as on some of the database examples) is number 5314 on page 1347 of Rogers (1993).
