| A silver buckle and a bronze-gilt rectangular attachment-plate (Pl. IX, No. 1) at the left waist, tongue pointing right. The attachment-plate is decorated around its edges by a row of "V"s; a flange, 1/12 in. high. encloses an area decorated in chip-carving technique. This decoration includes two animals in Style 1 grouped at right angles around a centrally-set rectangular piece of blue glass. The | belt was joined to the buckle by being doubled around the stem of the buckle and its end was then clamped between the attachment-plate and a bronze back-plate by 4 bronze rivets. The size of these indicates that the gap between the two plates, which accommodated a double thickness of leather, was 3/16 in. | |
