Description: | A copper-alloy buckle dating from the later early medieval or early medieval period, that is the 9th-12th century AD. the buckle was made from cast copper alloy and traces of gilding remain in the crevices of the moulded decoration. The buckle has a D-shaped frame with expanded outer edge, narrowed oval bar and incised pin rest. All surfaces are very worn but the outer edge is triangular in section, set at an angle of 45 degrees to the plane of the frame and with extensive moulded decoration on its outer face. To either side the front face has worn and damaged decoration, possibly comprising either an moulded transverse zig-zag motif with dots or additional motifs in each angle of the zig-zag, or possibly moulded scrollwork or animal style decoration. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
