Description: | Buckle, bent double-oval frame with knop on both outside edges, one, unusually, in the form of an animal (rather than bird) head, the other in the form of its tail with engraved transverse lines within bordering line (53 x 22mm, unbent), recessed narrowed central bar retains a wrought rectangular-sectioned pin in the pin-slot of a bent sub-rectangular sheet chape with broken attachment-end (unbent >33 x 14mm), folded widthways and secured through the shortened back part by a copper-alloy rivet. Cf. Whitehead (2003), nos.275 and 388, who gives the rather late date range of c. 1550-1650. An example of the bird-headed type was found in Rocklands (HER 31699). Probably dates to the 14th-15th century.
