Description: | A copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon buckle this buckle is very corroded with patches of powdery light green and bright blue corrosion products. The frame is D-shaped measuring 27.6mm by 23mm in size. The bar is narrowed and slightly offset. The pin remains in situ as it is corroded onto the frame, it is likely to have originally have had a base plate, only half of which now seems to survive, which would make it a traditionally known shield-on-tongue type buckle. The pin itself is a pointed oval in shape and has a prominent central longitudinal ridge on both faces.
This buckle is similar to one from Chatham Lines, Kent, although this parallel is less corroded, and it is believed to date to the late 6th and early 7th centuries (McGregor and Bolick 1993, 204, no 34.52). | 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: | 550
