Cast copper alloy buckle fragment from the Medieval period. Just less than half remains. It would have been D-shaped with a narrowed strap bar. The terminals of the buckle before the strap bar are zoomorphic heads with the strap bar coming out of the animals mouth. The animal is possibly a dog, similar to the style seen on Late Medieval ewer spouts. A similar buckle can be seen on the database recorded as NARC-B9F980
