Description: | A copper alloy buckle with decorative single loop frame. The pin is missing, and the frame is slightly bent. The frame has a decorative lip in the form of a rosette comprising a central circular boss surrounded by six more. One side of the rosette is badly worn however, so that the 'petals' are barely distinguishable. This wear is likely to be the result of the pin rubbing against the lip. The lip is flanked by paired ridges. The bar protrudes a little from the junction with the loop. The frame also has two backward projecting knops at either end of the bar, one of which is broken. The complete knop is 15.44mm in length. It is not clear whether the knops were set at an agngle to the frame or this angle is the result of post-depositional bending. The buckle measures 25.98mm long from bar to lip and 40.24mm maximum length with the knops. It is 40.03mm wide. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Davey, John - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
