Description: | Copper alloy buckle; cast D-shaped frame of circular section; rectangular sheet-metal plate with slot for pin, secured with 2 copper alloy rivets at the outside edge; copper alloy pin in situ.; frame concreted in right-angle position with iron corrosive products possibly derived from an associated object. Helen Geake writes: the reference to West (1998) shows a small buckle of the kind which is occasionally found in fifth- or sixth-century graves, but which is very much more common in seventh- or early eighth-century graves. The style then appears to go out of use, although this may be due more to the fact that buckles were no longer being deposited in furnished graves than to them no longer being used. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Thomas, Gabor | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
