Description: | Complete but very worn cast copper alloy Early Medieval buckle of probable zoomorphic design. The buckle has a single loop D-shaped frame with an extended sub-triangular outer-edge. Although very worn this buckle appears to belong to a class of brooches where the frame is in the form of an animal with the front and back legs of the beast forming the sides and the back forming the outer edge of the loop.Buckles of this type are dated to the late Anglo-Saxon/Anglo-Scandinavian period, c.900-1100.
