Description: | A Zoomorphic buckle with protruding bird's head and tail. The head has two raised eyes and a tapering flattened beak. The body forms the frame of the buckle and has a single central incised line forming a circle. The tail is triangular, ending in two lobes and decorated with incised lines. Two empty rivet holes and an indented area on the tail underside form an attachment for a belt. A slot on the inside of the frame next to the tail plate would have held the pin.
