EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon gold buckle, known as "Buckle (garnet & gold)". Measuring at just 2.5x6.5 cm, this small yet remarkable piece is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The buckle itself is adorned with garnets and gold, creating a stunning display of craftsmanship and artistry. The oblong garnet features bevelled edges held by a toothed rim, while a shaped garnet adds an extra touch of elegance to its tang. The meticulous attention to detail is evident through the presence of two rivets under the tang and four at the end of the plate. This photograph perfectly captures every ornate element that makes this buckle so exceptional. Its decorative design reflects both sophistication and cultural significance within Anglo-Saxon history. As we admire this masterpiece from centuries ago, it serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity. Displayed here by Bridgeman Images on behalf of eAshmolean Museum, this image invites us into a world where jewelry becomes more than mere accessories but rather tangible works of art that transcend time and space. Let us marvel at its splendor without forgetting its historical context – an emblematic representation of ancient craftsmanship preserved for generations to come.
