Description: | Copper alloy D-shaped buckle. This buckle is of possibly of the 'Limoges-style' type, from a type of enamelled buckle made in Limoges, but it is not certain that this one was ever enamelled. The upper surface of the frame is convex with bevelled inner edges. The reverse is slightly concave. The outer edge is expanded and has moulded decoration. The outside edge is expanded forming a curved edge. Either side of this there are two incised transverse grooves separated by a a raised transverse ridge. There is a row of punched dots on the outer sides of the grooves and a row of incised transverse lines within each groove. At the junction of the outer edge and the sides there are thinner, curved elements forming rounded corners. There is a circular depression in centre of the expanded central section of the outer edge, and in the centre of each of the curved side elements, which may once have held enamel. The bar is narrowed and offset and is D-shaped in section. There are moulded knops at either end of bar with punched decoration on upper surface. The pin is D-shaped in section and has a moulded lateral ridge on the upper surface parallel with the bar (L. 17.36mm. W. 4.20-1.86mm. Th. 1.70-0.93mm). Patchy mid-green patina. | Subjects: | ?Limoges Style | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
