Description: | Incomplete spur buckle. The frame is largely missing, but was probably oval. The narrow integral plate has a circular pin hole in which a copper-alloy pin survives. Immediately beyond this is a circular rivet hole. The plate tapers gradually, and has bevelled edges, up to the terminal which is an expanded stylised fleur-de-lis. There are two decorative circular holes forming the curves of the lower lobes of the lis, and a surviving separate copper-alloy rivet in the central lobe. Generally the buckle is very corroded, but a fragment of gilding survives next to the rivet. Total surviving length 51 mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
