Description: | Bronze buckle, probably Early Mediaeval, complete with folded-over plate and cast pin. The buckle frame is an elongated oval 21mm long and 11.5mm wide, formed of a rounded bar of 2.5mm gauge, and with one side thinner within the folded plate to a length of 11.5mm. The plate is 14mm broad and 15mm from trailing edge to the central foldover, where it is indented at either side to accommodate the frame, and has a central cut 2.5mm broad to allow the pin to emerge. The pin is 13mm long and 2mm wide, and is thickened near the base to prevent it being opened over-fully, and down-curved at the tip to rest on the loop of the frame. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with two diagonal bars engraved, which reach from the outer corners to the point where the buckle-pin emerges, forming a V sideways. Each bar is formed of two parallel lines, which are decorated between with chevrons infilling. At the trailing edge were three neat rivets. | 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: | 600
