Title
Early medieval buckle
Description
English: Copper alloy buckle with oval frame, integral plate and strip pin. The front of the plate is gilt and there are traces of gilding on the pin. The rear of the frame is white-metal coated. On the reverse of the plate there are the stubs of two integral and two separate rivets. The rectangular pin hole lies between two transverse grooves and is flanked by multiple oblique grooves. A central rectangular motif and a pentagonal aperture lie between a pair of confronting bird heads that meet at the inside edge. Marzinzik (2003) Type II.24c. See ibid. 54, pl. 149.4, Speake 1980 pl. 2b, and also West East Anglian Archaeology 84, fig.12.9. The bird heads are very similar to the terminals of ansate brooches of Thörle's Gruppe IX B 1, a northern French type dated to 630/40 - 670/80 (Thörle 2001, Taf. 40 and 60). This piece is probably a continental import. Length 21mm, width 16mm. 7th century..
