A cast copper alloy Early Medieval buckle dating from c. 900- 1100 AD. It is D-shaped in plan with a narrowed strap bar. The terminals of the loop are zoomorphic in form with the strap bar connecting two heads of animals; their mouths are open, almost as though they are biting the bar.

There is a transverse notch for the pin of the apex of the loop. The pin and plate are missing. The bu…

An incomplete and corroded copper-alloy rectangular plate, probably a buckle plate, of possible Early Medieval date. This artefact is rectangular in plan and flat in section.

Copper alloy buckle. Cast D-shaped rounded section buckle frame with zoomorphic decoration in the form of beast snouts grasping either end of the narrowed strap bar. The beasts are represented deftly but schematically, with a slight constriction between snout and eyes, and a further slight hollowing between head and ears. An off-centre notch on the frame may indicate either a made or worn pin rest. The decorative form is Anglo-Scandinavian, though similar examples are reported from both contemporary and residual contexts. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 950-1050. Length: 24.9mm, …

Silver-gilt buckle with a triangular plate, recently broken in two pieces. The oval loop, of D shaped section, is cast in one with the plate. It has a false shield-on-tongue composed of two stepped, crescentic panels, each decorated with a band of interlace now obscured by corrosion.
