Description: | Copper-alloy buckle with triangular plate. The frame is D-shaped and is integrally cast with the plate; the plate has a hollow centre, a rivet at each corner by the frame, and a third rivet in a rounded terminal at the apex. The bar has a constriction for the pin; both the constriction and one rivet hole are partly blocked with iron corrosion. The edges of the frame and plate are bevelled on the upper surface, and the reverse remains in its rough cast state. The buckle is now bent into a smooth concave curve, with each end turning upwards. Buckles with triangular plates date to the late 6th to early 8th centuries AD; when the frame is integrally cast with the plate, they tend to be smaller and are likely to be late 7th or early 8th century. | 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: | 650
