Description: | Unusual medieval copper alloy buckle, comprising an oval frame, outside edge in the form of an animal-head with incised lines forming the stylised angular features, cast projecting sub-triangular knops projecting forward from both sides as ears. Offset bar projects beyond convex sides, pin missing from pin-bar between sides of integral keyhole-shaped plate. the sides of the openwork plate are chamfered, two projections on the side flank the springing of the terminal loop, the outer part of which is internally worn. Length 36mm. Width 19mm. The form of the animal head is similar in form to those found on strap-clasps from a number of sites in Norfolk and elsewhere, examples from the former include Great Dunham (NMS-73DB67), Grimston (NMS-DF0967), Haveringland (HER 44066), Outwell (HER 44753) and Sedgeford (HER 45479). 14th century.
