Description: | Formerly gilt, bronze plate for a buckle. The frame and pin are lacking. The plate is 17mm wide and about 0.8mm thick, and measures 27mm from the rounded trailing edge to the operative end where it is folded back beneath itself to form a loop to capture the (now missing) frame. Here the sheet is cut away or indented at either side to accommodate the frame, and a slot 3.5mm wide and 5mm deep has been cut at the centre to locate the pin. Underneath the fold-over, the sheet terminates just below this slot, ending in a V-shape, and is held to the upper side by a single central rivet. On the upper side, the round head of the rivet appears just below the slot cut for the pin, and its raised head has protected an area of gilding round about it. The same is true of the second rivet hole, central at the rounded trailing end of the plate, where gilding is similarly visible. The surface of the plate is otherwise plain, except where the 'braces' which formed the loops around the pin bar have three vertical lines impressed upon their upper surfaces. | 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
