Description: | A cast copper-alloy single loop buckle of 9th-11th century date.
The frame is sub-circular in plan, with a decorated outer frame consisting of a lower and upper knob separated by a thickening of the frame with 2 ridges and 3 furrows set transversely.
The pin is formed of a single piece of wire with a flat terminal that extends beyond the outer frame and the other end hooks over the bar to form a simple hinge. Pressure on the pin from use has caused the pin to bend inward.
This buckle is a Marshall Late Saxon type 1C (fig. 4, no. 9).
This object was found by divers in the River Tyne downstream from the Roman bridge at Corbridge. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
