Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Recently discovered buckles from graves at Orpington and Bishopstone, and in particular the splendid set from Mucking, have important new bearing on the quoit-brooch style. Other pieces from the same milieu can now be distinguished. Their close relationship to Romano-Germanic buckles is combined with insular quoit-brooch style motifs, notably in the case of the Mucking pieces, with their characteristic animals and masks. As argued elsewhere, this style was possibly introduced into England by Frankish craftsmen; the one-piece construction and some decorative features of the buckles also relate them to early 5th cent products of the Meuse area. Many quoit-brooch style pieces are now seen to come from the same or closely-linked workshops. Since most of the pieces are belt equipment, and possibly of military origin, they may have been made for early 5th cent foederati. The Mucking set also sheds an intriguing sidelight on the origin of the Irish 7th cent Moylough belt shrine, which is probably a copy of such a buckle set. Full descriptions of the buckles are given, and method of attachment discussed. LW | |||||
