The
Pforzen buckle is a silver belt buckle found in
Pforzen,
Ostallgäu (
Schwaben) in 1992. The
Alemannic grave in which it was found (no. 239) dates to the end of the 6th century and was presumably that of a warrior, as it also contained a lance,
spatha,
seax and shield. The buckle itself is assumed to be of Roman-Mediterranean origin, possibly the product of a
Lombard or
Gepid workshop.
