Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Early Early-Medieval date (AD 400 ? AD 600). Length 23mm, width 27.5mm and 6.5mm thick. Weight 12.97g. The frame is oval shaped in plan and is roughly oval in cross-section. The bar is narrowed and is possibly circular in cross-section. The bar is largely obscured by a corroded iron which may be the remains of the pin. There is no iron staining on the outside edge of the frame where the pin would have rested. The frame is corroded due to active bronze disease. However, small areas with a very shiny mid-green patina survive. No indication of tinning, burning or melting. | 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: | 400
