BUCKLE

Unique ID: YORYM-667D71

Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Early-medieval : Buckle

A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle. The buckle has a narrowed strap bar. The outer edge of the frame is wide and has a circular section. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. Where the frame meets the strap bar, very stylised open-mouthed animals can be seen biting the bar. The design is basic and stylised, to the point where the animals have lost their original features and have been decorated with an incised line. The outer corners of the strap bar flare out with a triangular terminal. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a light silvery-grey colour, suggesting an unusual mix of alloys and the surface is pitted. This type of buckle dates from the early-medieval to medieval period.
