Description: | An oval cast buckle frame with folded sheet plate. The frame is cast very thick (and green-patinated) on the fore-edge, which is made in the round front and back, with a slight channel with lateral grroves either side marking where the buckle-pin should fall. This rounded fore-section is 5mm thick and 22mm high. The sides of the frame, which curve back inwards towards the plate, are slender, being only 1.5mm thick, and the pin-bar, cast in one with the frame, is 13mm long and 2mm in gauge all along. The plate is wide in front (16mm)with two straps folded over the pin-bar, 10mm wide from edge to edge but with a central channel of 4mm cut out also for the pin. The back of the plate is only 10.5mm wide. It is attached to the front plate with two dome-headed rivets of 1mm gauge. The buckle-plate was gilt, but the broader part, presumably its front, has been so attached to correspond to the back of the buckle-frame, for the channel on the fore-edge for the pin corresponds to the narrower side of the plate. | 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: | 1100
