Thrislington: two copper alloy buckles
 
ENLARGE IMAGE
 

Copper Alloy Buckles

The buckles found at Thrislington were quite corroded, having been in the ground for centuries, but they show up well on X-rays and were successfully restored by conservators.

These two buckles were fairly small, merely 2 or 3 cm high, and were probably used to fasten small leather straps.

See the x-ray image of these buckles, other objects found at Thrislington, or what would people wear out and about.
