Belt buckle (Byzantine? or from somewhere else?)

(1/1)

Gert:
Hi,
This belt buckle was part of a lot of Byzantine coins and artifacts. I wonder if someone can point me to some parallels, because I can't find anything Byzantine that is obviously similar.
Regards
Gert

SC:
This looks like a medieval Byzantine buckle plate.

Square plates with a griffon design, but with a long vertical hole on the right side, likely to loop the leather through, are Schulze-Dorrlamm's type G2 and G3 dated from the late 8th to the early 10th centuries.

Yours without the vertical hole must be roughly similar.

Gert:
Thanks a lot!
Gert
