Description: | Mystery object which superficially resembles a buckle with integral plate and frame. The frame end is pentagonal externally, with a knop on the angled end, and oval internally but with an offset (perhaps caused by wear?) towards a transverse ridge (like a pin bar) which separates the frame from the plate. The plate is thick, flat, tapering and apparently solid, and ends in another transverse ridge. A hole has been drilled into the end of the plate, and has cut through one face to leave a slot. There is some ?solder in the furthest recesses of this hole. It can't be a buckle as there is no pin hole; in fact, it can't be any kind of strap fitting as the plate has no provision to hold a strap. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
