Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Zoomorphic buckle of Early-medieval date (AD 410-1066). The buckle is semi-circular in plan and is composed of two zoomorphic knops, one at the pointed lower aspect of the frame and one which composes the upper aspect of the object, from which the absent pin bar would project. The third knop and the majority of the right arm are missing. Both knops are sub triangular in plan and section. The integral pattern is in the form of a bulbous eyed head with circular nostrils, a curvilinear mussel denoted and split linear/opened mouth. The arm is decorated with a repeating transverse incised linear pattern which is bisected by a raised linear longitudinal border. The reverse is smooth, flat and undecorated. The second arm, bar and pin are all missing due to an old break.The metal is a dark green in colour.
