Description: | A length of fine beaded gold wire in a circular shape. Both ends of the wire are soldered together and the wire is broken at the junction of two beads. The diameter of the wire is 20.0mm.
The diameter described by this length of beaded wire suggests that it may have been the collar to a setting in the foot of a large triangular buckle. Many high status Kentish buckles, for example those found at in the cemeteries of Faversham, Sarre or Gilton Ash (George Speake, Anglo-Saxon Animal Art and its Germanic Background (Oxford 1980), pl 6e and f, pl 7b) are fitted with similar lengths of beaded wire surrounding the bossed rivet heads at the shoulders and the foot. | Subjects: | Anglo Saxon triangular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
