A very interesting copper alloy buckle from the Anglo Saxon period

I believe it dates from the 7th century

It was recovered from ploughed land about 20 years ago using a metal detector

I did show this to my local museum at the time and they said it was Anglo Saxon and each eye socket would have contained a small stone or garnet

With 3 very clear animal heads and patterns on the top between the heads

The pin is original

In very good overall condition although the bar is cracked right through at one end

Pictured with UK one penny and US one cent to show size

Insured postage only
