6th-8th century AD
A gold buckle assemblage comprising: a hollow elliptical loop with ribbed outer surface, waist to the rear; similarly formed tongue with forward end curved over the loop, rear with sheer face, attached to the loop by a hoop with hinge closure. 41 grams, 51mm (2"). Very fine condition.
Provenance
Private collection, London, UK; formed 1970s-1980s. Accompanied by X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate number 00527-2015BB.
Footnotes
The buckle shares many characteristics with examples from the post-Roman "barbarian" West and it is possible that it was made by one of the Germanic tribes who settled in the former Roman Empire and traded into the eastern Byzantine realms.
