Description: | A cast copper alloy ring buckle, from the 3rd century.
They developed due to the fashion of wearing a broad waist belt and these buckles can been seen on statues from the 3rd century (Appels and Laycock, p107).
The buckle has a circular loop with an extension to one side. The extension is pierced. Inside the piercing the pin has been looped. The pin is crude and is rectangular in section. It is loosely looped around the strap bar. Projecting out from the pierced extension is a loop at a 90 ° angle.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
