Description: | Damaged loop from a Limoges style buckle of 13th C. AD date. The outer edge of the buckle is flattened and angled to give a wide surface for decoration. A single indented line passes around the outside of the piece and there are traces of gilding and possible enamelling to the surface. The outer edge tapers at the top and bottom and gives way on each end to a wider lobe. An 11mm length of the axis bar remains attached to one of these lobes. Overall, the piece measures 19.9mm long by 8.8mm wide and weighs 3.47g. It is badly bent and damaged as a result of post-depositional processes. | 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
