Buckle - Drawing |

Description |
English: An openwork copper-alloy buckle plate. Sub-triangular, it is made up of a number of slim bars, no more than 1.5 mm wide or thick. The wider end is formed from a straight transverse bar with oblique groove decoration. At either end is a solid corner, pierced to take a copper-alloy rivet with a large knobbed head and relatively long shank. The rivets are 8 mm long in total and passed through something c. 2 mm thick. From the corners another transverse bar projects, this time curving to form a D shape. Two more slim bars form the sides, curving gently down to the animal-head terminal; these are more corroded but also have traces of oblique grooving. A final bar runs from the centre of the curving transverse bar to the terminal; this is now fractured and a tiny piece is missing. At the apex the three longitudinal bars meet; just below is an animal-head terminal, which has relief ears, brow, eyes and nose. Between the ears is a small copper-alloy rivet with no head, perhaps incomplete. A similar example from Trimley St Martin (sf530/4270) retains its original sheet backplate, which has two hinge loops at the wider end. It is also comparable to an object from a late 13th-century context in Canterbury (Garrard, I.P. and Henig. M. in Blockley et al. 1995, 1063, fig. 459, F655). |
