Early medieval buckle; buckle with Anglo-Scandinavian zoomorphic decoration |

| Description |
English: Early medieval buckle; cast copper alloy buckle frame with integral plate, of probable 11th or early 12th century date. The buckle frame is a single loop, D-shaped type with an elaborate frame showing Anglo-Scandinavian influence. It has moulded decoration around the frame with knops and incised lines suggesting possible zoomorphic details. The apex of the loop extends to a long, curved knop with a moulded boss in the centre which seems to represent a debased animal head. There is a notch just behind the boss for the pin to rest in. The pin is missing. The buckle has an integral plate which is sub-rectangular and undecorated. It has a small circular hole in the centre near the frame for the pin. This hole is now blocked with corrosion. The whole buckle has been slightly miscast and is not quite symmetrical, the frame being rather skewed out of true.
Length 51.7mm, width (frame) 24.3mm, thickness (frame at end boss) 5.9mm, width (plate) 18.9mm, thickness (plate) 3.2mm, weight 14.99g Ref: Marshall ‘Buckles Through the Ages; part 4 Late Saxon to Early Medieval’ (pp. 7-8, nos. 38 & 39, type IIIA) Griffiths, Philpott and Egan ‘Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast’ (pp. 62 & 72, plate 8, no. 307 & 310) |
