Title |
Early medieval buckle plate |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete early medieval circa 6th-7th century cast buckle plate. The plate is sub-circular or D-shaped in form and measures 43.98mm in width and 47.02mm in length. The front face is decorated with three circular motifs, each consisting of three concentric circles with a dot in the centre, two motifs are opposite each other near to the edge and at the mid point of the plate, and the third is in the centre of the attachment end. There is a decorative border between each motif consisting of grooves with a central zigzag. There is an incised cross shape in the centre of the plate, with small transverse grooves between the two outer grooves. The frame end of the plate has one surviving integral projecting perforated lug, originally there would have been a pair of such lugs, the second one is now missing due to an old break. These lugs would have originally have mated with similar lugs on the bar of the frame and the frame and plate been held in place by an axis bar through the two pairs of lugs. There is also a circular rivet hole with iron corrosion within it behind the missing lug, this could perhaps be a later alteration or repair to the plate. On the back face of the plate there are three integral lugs, two opposing ones at the frame end, one of which is incomplete, and one central one at the attachment end. These lugs were designed to pierce the material of the belt and to project through a corresponding set of hole in the back plate; pins passing through the perforations originally held the assembly together. |
