Description: | Outer edge from a copper-alloy buckle frame, now bent in half. The frame was originally oval with a narrowed bar, and the outer edge flares into a wide flat surface. This surface has engraved areas which are keyed for enamel; there are two transversely set rectangular panels in the centre, and then there is a long thin panel following the line of the curving external edge on either side. Filling the rest of the space on either side is a sub-triangular panel. The areas around the sunken panels are gilded and the gilding and enamelling, as well as the shape of the buckle frame, are in the Limoges style which was at its height in the 13th century. The original dimensions are probably c. 22 mm long and c. 42 mm wide. | 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: | 1200
