Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of early-medieval date. The buckle is D-shaped and the remains of a narrowed strap bar can still be seen. The outer edge of the frame is wide and domed. Two raised bars are present across the outer edge of the frame, presumably creating a pin recess in the resulting space. The pin no longer remains.Where the frame meets what remains of the strap bar two very crude and worn designs are present most probably representing open-mouthed animals which are typical to buckles of this period. The original features of the animals have been lost though some incised line decoration can still be seen.The reverse of the buckle is concave and undecorated.The metal is a dark brownish-green colour and is worn. The buckle is 23.3mm long, 28.8mm wide, 6.3mm thick and weighs 6.7g.
