Title
KENT-AC1CE6. Early Anglo-Saxon gold and cloisonne garnet setting, front. 2005 T74.
Description
English: Gold and cloisonné garnet setting from the tongue plate of a high status buckle. The setting is sub-rectangular with curved cutaways defining the shoulders. It is made with a sheet gold back plate to which is soldered a single strip of gold sheet set on edge to form a frame for the cloisonné cell work. This is inlaid with well cut garnets over pointillé foil and fills the panel with a design of two skilfully entwined snakes: their heads with well defined open jaws fill the lower corners and their sinuous bodies interlace across the centre of the panel to end in tails tucked beneath the jaws. The spaces between the inlaid garnets are filled with cells lidded with gold sheet. The back of the panel is plain, showing that it was secured in place at the base of the tongue with some form of adhesive.
