Description: | A cast copper-alloy single loop buckle of 9th-11th century date.
The frame is D-shaped in plan, with a decorated outer frame consisting of a vinescroll motif on the upper face only. The outer edge of the outer frame has a beaded border.
The pin is formed of a single flattened strip that tapers outward from a point that falls short of the outer frame. The other end hooks over the bar to form a simple hinge. The bar is very thin and worn.
This buckle is a Marshall Late Saxon type 1B (fig. 4, no. 5).
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 |
