Bronze belt buckle
Buckle with animal-headed terminals, lackin pin, and
belt-plate with incised scorped decoration.
The D-shaped ring has two cast ridges, to receive the pin, and
highly stylised animal head terminals. The upraised snouts and
receeding chins of the animals are similar to ones on the St
Ninian's Isle hoard, dated to the 9th century, though the motif has
a long life and can also be seen on Irish pins dateable to the
second half of the 10th century.
