Description: | MED Openwork buckle plate with slight traces of gilding on the upper surface. On a sub-rectangular (24 x 19mm) convex hollow-backed plate edged by a narrow incomplete flange a quadruped, head & tail turned downwards, gripping a smaller creature with its mouth & feet, is picked out in openwork. The plate appears to have formed part of a composite plate, cf. English Romanesque Art 255, no.256 & Fingerlin Kat.476. Was it held in place within a frame by rivets through the openwork like the former or were there once rivets through the (missing) corners of the flange like the latter? Late 12th-early 13th cent. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
