Description: | One third of a large and exceptionally heavy cast silver buckle loop, the original possibly made in three parts. The upper surface of the loop carries three well defined rectangular panels separated by a triangular field to compensate for the sharp curve of the loop. Each panel contains a single Style I zoomorph within a beaded border. The zoomorphs consist of a simple head containing a beady eye, a truncated spine and a vestigial back foot. The decoration on the underside of the fragment is largely illegible but appears to consist of a continuous design of Style I zoomorphs within beaded borders. No panelling is visible.Length: 22mm; weight: 27.7 g. X-ray fluorescence analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate silver content of 99 per cent. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
