Another discussion of the buckle: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ARd9mp97V_UC&pg=PA339&lpg=PA339#v=onepage&q&f=false … Case for all imagery referencing the Apocalypse, incl Christ's fangs! (Rev. 19:15)
@caitlinrgreen Love imagery, but none of Apocalyptic Horsemen has axe & spear. Why is this not armed Merovingian Xian on well hung horse?
@weysidemonk It's based on the inscription & imagery, I believe---two discussions linked, tho' definite Frankish elite styling too, I agree!
@caitlinrgreen Thanks. I'm no expert & Latin & French are rusty. So slow-going perceiving the theorising of Henri Gaillard de Sémainville!
@weysidemonk If you use Google Chrome, it should offer to translate it for you---not perfect, but ok :)
@caitlinrgreen Ta. See now not 1 of 4 riders. Christ envisioned on horse Rev 19, but angel binds dragon 1000yrs. Artistic confabulation!
@caitlinrgreen will review belt buckles seen at Marle Merovingian cemetery
