Description: | Copper-alloy buckle plate, now very corroded. The plate is basically D-shaped, and made from a piece of thin oval copper-alloy sheet folded in half with frame recesses and a pin slot cut. Three copper-alloy rivets join the plates together, and also secure a cast copper-alloy openwork mount to the upper plate. This mount is B-shaped internally, and at the junction of the two lobes of the B there is a projecting stylised animal head. One of the rivets passes through the animal head and the other two pass through thickened areas in the corners. Another buckle made from thin sheet with a reinforcing openwork mount is known from Trimley St Martin (sf530/4270). They appear to be medieval, and perhaps early in the period. | 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
