Title
S buckle (plan)
Description
English: Cast copper alloy buckle in the form of an 'S' with a stylised beast's head at each terminal. The head is a combination of a bird-like and serpent-like creature, with raised ears or a crest on the back of the head and a projecting upturned beak, with lentoid eyes and an open mouth with a defined linear tongue. The buckle is worn more on one side than the other but most of the moulded details can be discerned and are repeated on both sides of the frame. In the centre of the buckle frame is a tri-lobed moulded collar, which may represent a flower, flanked by a leaf with three pointed lobes on either side. Popular throughout the post-medieval period, and probably forming part of a sword belt, this 'snake' buckle is a later example dating from the 18th century.

Bailey (1997) illustrates a similar example with an upturned beak on page 21, No.6.
