Description: | Copper-alloy buckle frame, plate and pin. The length of the buckle from the tip of the pin to the back edge of the buckle plate is 21.4mm. The width of the buckle frame is 20.3mm. It weighs 2.95g.
The buckle frame is an elongated oval shape with a slightly narrowed bar. The frame is oval in cross-section, considerably wider than the plate. The pin is curled around the bar and tapers to a blunt point, extending beyond the frame. The plate is a sheet of copper alloy which has been folded in half, forming a square shape; a rectangular notch has been cut out of the centre for the pin, and frame recesses have been cut at the corners of the plate. The attachment edge, opposite the fold, has three rivet holes. There is leather visible between the two halves of the plate. The plates, pin and frame all have a well developed blue/green patina. This buckle is of early Anglo-Saxon date, fifth to early eighth century. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
