Description: | Copper alloy possible buckle fragment. Cast S shaped object with six or more large comma shaped pellets along its display face, smooth at the back. One end is kindly suggested by the finder to represent a horse head, however this appears to be the fortuitous result of a break. This reporter would see this as an early snake buckle. Some such objects served as part of sword hanging suites (Read 2008, pages 230-1), and the textured surface may hint at an earlier rather than a later date for this object. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700.Length: 32mm, Height: 12.1mm, Thickness: 5.5mm, Weight: 5.84gms.
