Title
Early-medieval buckle (drawing)
Description
English: Silver buckle, burnt and partially melted, probably during a cremation ceremony. The buckle has a large oval frame and pin which are attached to a small flattened semi-circular plate.

Length 39mm, width 27mm, weight 17.4g. X-ray fluorescence at the British Museum indicated an approximate silver content of 79%.

This type of buckle is well known on the Continent from the late 5th century, and examples are very occasionally found in early Anglo-Saxon contexts.
