Description: | Incomplete spur buckle. The frame is largely missing, but was probably oval. The narrow integral plate has a circular pin hole in which a copper-alloy pin survives. Immediately beyond this is a circular rivet hole. The plate tapers gradually, and has bevelled edges, up to the terminal which is an expanded stylised fleur-de-lis. There are two decorative circular holes forming the curves of the lower lobes of the lis, and a surviving separate copper-alloy rivet in the central lobe. Generally the buckle is very corroded, but a fragment of gilding survives next to the rivet. Total surviving length 51 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
