Description: | MED Fragment of front part of a large rectangular buckle plate, broken longitudinally through pin slot so that little more than half (including one frame recess) survives. In counter relief, & formally gilded, against a reserved ground that was once filled with enamel (none now present) a figure with spear or staff in his right hand & a bird in his left, & to his left a plant with two drooping leaves. The lower part of the figure is mostly missing but there is no sign of leggings, rather a skirt-like arrangement or possibly bizarrely bowed & thin legs. The head is depicted by a gilded & dome headed rivet with moulded eyes & nose turned slightly to this left, much larger than one that survives at the attachment edge. The ribs, armpits & waist are picked out with fine grooves, & as are other details such as the cuff on the left wrist & the bird's feathers. The complete plate measured 40 x c.50mm. 13th cent. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
