Buckle Mount Found At Sutton Hoo

This gold cloisonne buckle mount secured the lower part of the scabbard to the sword belt. It is shaped to curve across the front of the scabbard. A closer look reveals a fine grid pattern under the garnet inlay. This subtle effect is produced by light shining through the garnet illuminating a gold foil underlay stamped with this pattern. The buckle is meant to look like a functioning belt buckle, though not intended for this use.
