Description: | Fragment, cast copper-alloy folded rectangular buckle plate. Only the front plate now survives, and its upper edge is damaged. The plate is recessed for the buckle frame and has a slot for the missing pin. The central design is of a winged beast, probably a dragon or perhaps a fantastic bird, within a slightly raised rectangular linear frame. The area surrounding the creature is filled with concentric rings of stamped and incised lines. Two rivet holes on the outer edge; one retains traces of the iron rivet, the other is badly damaged and enlarged and perhaps represents a repair in antiquity. Traces of gilding, especially in the field surrounding the creature. Red/brown patina. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Worrell, Sally - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
