Buckle, iron. Perhaps part of bridles. This type of buckles usually includes a simple iron belt strap. They have been found mainly in stone graves and are not dated more precisely.

Buckle, iron. Probably from horse bridle.
Gotland-Baltic type buckle, copper alloy. Previously the buckle type was believed to have developed in Gotland. Later data, however, shows that the buckle form could originate from the Baltics after which it was adapted in Gotland (Lehtsalo-Hilander 1982, 149–151; Mägi 2002, 97; for Gotlandic material see Thunmark-Nylen 1992, Pl. 127–129). The earliest buckles of this type belong to the second half of the 10th century, but the latest variants can also be found in the 13th-century inhumation graves (e.g. Zariņa 2006, 233-237).
Buckle, copper alloy. Similar one is known from Viking Age Gotland (SHM 7640; Thunmark-Nylén 1998, Pl. 129), but such buckeles are also recorded in West-Estonia (Mandel 2017, 82, tahv. XL). The Urnes Style was widespread 1010-1130 AD (Jets 2013, 91-97), which dates the buckle most likely to the 11th century.
