Description: | A cast copper-alloy openwork buckle plate of 9th-11th century date.
The buckle consists of a single decorated plate, with hinge loops, which are now broken, integrally cast.
The outer face of the buckle is highly decorated. It is of a zoomorphic or floral design but wear has made it unclear. Around the edge of the openwork section is a linear pattern of dots. There is one rivet still remaining and there is at least one other hole which could have contained a rivet.
The object is perhaps not truly a buckle, but one half of a decorated, hinged plate that formed part of a belt.
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 |
