Title |
Early Medieval buckle |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle plate dating to the Early Medieval period. The object is probably a counter-plate from an Anglo-Saxon buckle. It is sub-triangular in plan with ornately cut undulating edges. The terminal end of the object is sub-rectangular with a projecting small circular boss. This decorative boss measures 5.36mm in diameter and is surrounded by a circular notched border which is worn. At the opposite end of the object two more bosses decorated each edge of the outer face measuring 6.06mm in diameter and each with a notched border. Each boss disguises a rivet, the base of which can be seen on the rear of the object. The wide end of the object measures 18.89mm in width and is notched possibly to house a pin.
At each end of the rear of the object projects a loop for attachment, both of which are incomplete. The loops measure 5.66mm in width, 2.89mm in thickness and 4.94mm in length. Due to the object having been cleaned in a tumbler barrel it is impossible to ascertain if the breaks to the loops are recent or occurred in antiquity from their patina. Patches of a dark black patina remain around the bosses.
It can be paralleled at Finglesham, Grave 18 although this buckle has three, rather than two lugs and the one on the narrow end is transverse. Its shape and faceted edge is also present at Finglesham appearing on a buckle from Grave 168, (peers. comm. K. Leahy). It probably dates to the later sixth-seventh century.
Similar buckle plates can be found in MacGregor and Bolick, (1993), p193-195. |
