An incomplete Early Medieval copper alloy and enamel buckle, dating to c AD 650 - 750. It consists of the loop of what was probably a three-part buckle. Tongue and plate (which would have been integral to one another) and what was probably a sub-triangular body, are missing. The loop is sub-pelta shape with the outer edge possibly taking the form of two opposed stylised zoomorphic heads, raised up, their snake-like tails continuing around the loop and almost meeting at the attachment end. Below the raised heads is a half-round pin notch. The beasts are indicated by sub-rectangular and…

Cast copper alloy pin from a D-shaped buckle, possibly dating from the Anglo-Saxon period, c.AD 575-625. The pin has broken off from the base plate above the loop that would have wound around the pin bar. The broken end is circular in section and 8 mm in diameter and the pointed end has been chiselled from both sides into a rectangular edge that is 5 mm in length and 3 mm in width. The base plates were often shield shaped as seen in D-shaped buckles illustrated in MacGregor & Bolick (1993) om pp.203-204, nos.34.45-34.52. See LVPL-A115C7 for a similar buckle on the database, which i…

Two parts of a copper alloy object, a Medieval buckle dating from AD 1250 - 1450. About half of the hoop survives in two pieces. It is a rounded rectangle in section, expanding slightly in width at one end. This projection would have been part of a projecting pin rest and is thinner than the hoop of the frame. The hoop is decorated on the surviving side by expanding the width of the hoop into three openwork lobes, so there are three rings along the side of the hoop. The break between the two surviving pieces is across the upmost ring. The breaks are very worn and patinated. The top of…
