Description: | Buckle frame, pin and plate, all made from copper alloy. The frame is trapezoidal, measuring 31 mm wide at the outer edge and 28 mm wide at the bar. The outer edge has a slightly projecting grooved pin rest. The pin is now a corroded spike of copper alloy. The plate is 25 mm long and has fragmentary edges; it is folded under to form a short underplate which does not have any apparent means of attachment to the upper plate. The surviving width of the plate is 27.5 mm. It is basically rectangular, with frame recesses, a pin slot and two broken rivet holes at the corners of the attachment edge, but it also has two decorative rectangular cut-outs in the sides, forming a narrowed waist close to the attachment edge. The plate is decorated with a series of transverse ridges which run from side to side. Three survive well - one to either side of the narrowed waist and one along the base of the pin slot - but there may have been two more, one at the attachment edge and one running along the fold. There may have been more decoration between the ridges, but the plate is quite corroded and none of this survives. The hinge of the buckle is now corroded solid, with the pin and plate in line but the frame bent underneath the plate. Its total length in this condition is 32.5 mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
