Description: | Copper alloy ?buckle frame fragment. It survives as a triangle with an extended apex and a slighter base bar, beyond which the side bars are broken. The terminal is triangular in section with a rounded end and traces of transverse grooves and moulding - possibly a stylised animal head originally? The side bars are 5x2mm and angled slightly in toards the front; the cross bar is 3x2mm and very worn in the centre - perhaps from holding a buckle tongue? The condition and style of the piece suggest a late Saxon - early Medieval date. | 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: | 850
