Description: | A small D-shaped frame with offset bar and flat widened outer edge which is turned in at an angle and decorated with a gilded raised zigzag design. The plate is a single folded piece of copper-alloy, rectangular on the obverse and sub-triangular on the reverse. There are two copper-alloy rivets at the outside edge of the plate, holding the two faces together and passing through what appears to be mineralised leather. The obverse of the plate is decorated in relief with a coiled backward-facing beast biting its tail; there is evidence of heavy gilding across the whole of the front of the plate. The pin is missing. | Subjects: | Buckle frame and plate Limoges Style | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Harte, Rhiannon - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
