Object type: HARNESS MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk

The buckle itself would originally have been 'D' shaped in plan view and plano-convex in section, with a flattened underside and rounded upper surface. The strap bar is constricted and slightly offset, while the front edge of the frame thickens heavily and appears to demonstrate a rather degraded zoomorphic terminal where it joins with the strap bar itself.
