Description: | Cast copper alloy zoomorphic buckle of medieval date (1100-1350 AD). The frame takes the form of a three dimensional representation of a lion, who stands to the rightt and faces outwards (i.e. head turned 90 degrees to his right). The animal has a slender body and an oval head, decorated with curved lines to mark the snout. It has two small ears extending from the top of the head. The legs form the top and bottom sides of the frame and join the pin bar below to create a 'D-shaped' gap.Similar frames recorded on the PAS database include BH-E80F64, BH-DFD953 and HESH-895616. A date of 12th to 14th century is suggested for this piece.
