Dear Ariel,

those objects belong to belt buckles; the buckles themselves are more or less D-shaped and those objects were fixed through its hole by means of a small rod in bronze or iron. I have no idea, what the English term might be - maybe Alice can help us with it. I had some of those among my early Roman material from Magdalensberg/Austria; normally belt buckles were made from bronze or iron, like our modern examples, but there are quite a lot also in bone or antler. Sometimes they are identifies as amulets - which they were definitely not.

Sincerely
Kordula Gostencnik

Dear list,
Has anyone came across these or similar objects?
Their chronological context is not clear, as they came from a mixed dump - probably medieval or even as modern as 19th century, but could be earlier too.

Apologies for the bad quality of the pictures....
