Description: | Complete copper-alloy spur buckle. The frame is oval with a slightly off-centre rectangular projection along the outer edge. There is a circular pin hole with a surviving copper-alloy pin. The integral plate has a wide rounded lobe to accommodate the pin hole, then a smaller rounded lobe which has a rivet hole. Then comes a slightly tapering bar with bevelled edges, which runs down to a narrow projecting transverse lobe and then a rounded terminal with a second rivet hole. There is a sharp curve in the buckle plate, which may be to fit around the ankle or which may be later damage. The patina is a mid grey which in some places has gone leaving pale green corrosion; the mid grey may be the remains of a white-metal coating. Length as bent 44 mm, width of buckle frame 17 mm. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
