Description: | Rectangular copper-alloy buckle plate, broken at the two hinge loops. There are two rivet holes at the attachment end, one retaining a copper-alloy rivet. The plate has relief decoration which is hard to decipher, but which may have been a bird motif; a neck and head with pointed beak are visible running obliquely up to the attachment end, and in the middle is a wing with perhaps a leg at the hinged end. The arrangement of these elements, however, is strange and they do not seem to articulate well. Although the plate is worn and corroded, the wing has traces of some longitudinal line ornament. There is a green patina, rubbed on the higher parts to a dark red. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
