Description: | A copper alloy buckle plate dating to the thirteenth century AD. The buckle plate is flat and square in shape with two circular perforations, one containing a corroded iron rivet. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with a rampant animal facing right. The animal is in relief whilst the background comprises cells filled with blue enamel. Two rectangular lugs extend from the plate. Remnants of gilding are visible on these lugs. These are broken but would originally have been looped around the buckle frame. The underside of the plate is plain. The plate measures 20mm in length and 22mm in width. A similar buckle plate is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 113) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
