Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy late Roman buckle plate, of 4th-5th century date. One side and the attachment edge of this buckle plate survives, the rest is missing due to old breaks, now worn. It is rectangular in shape and measures 22.60mm in length and 20.27mm in width. The inner edge has two loops, through which the bar of the frame would have passed originally. There are two incomplete open work archs and the surviving side of the frame has a copper-alloy rivet through either corner and the front face is decorated with three small ring and dot motifs. There is a similar buckle plate from Old Sarum, Wiltshire which also only has two attachment loops and open work decoration (Hawkes and Dunning 1961, 54-55, fig 18, c). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
