A copper-alloy D-shaped buckle frame. The outer edge is D-shaped in cross-section, with devolved animal heads at each end of the bar (beast biting bar type). The bar is narrower than the frame and the outer edge of the frame is decorated with transverse grooves. The pin is missing but there is a groove to act as a pin rest.
For reference see DENO-8E90B8, and Meols page 72 number 312. This type of buckle is thought from finds at Winchester and Norwich to be 11th or 12th century (Hinton in Biddle 1990, no. 1110; Margeson 1993, no. 127). Compare also SWYOR-EE9656 and SWYOR-4F8AB4.
