Small Bronze Buckle

    img

    Small buckle of Anglo-Saxon design, cast bronze and silver foil/wire. Much of Anlgo-Saxon jewellry uses the technique of setting a filigree plate inside a cast cell. The wire was beaded using the beading file describe by Theophilos and is just under a millimeter thick. The buckle is about 2" long. The tablet woven belt was made by my wife.
