Description: In 1813 this buckle, the mount with red, white and blue enamel, and the square coin were found together in a cemetry at Rijnsburg. The impressive gilded buckle with interwoven filigree and enamel inlay was probably mad in Kent (England) across the Channel. They are exhibited in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden. These finds amongst others indicate that the mouth of the Rhine was home to some people of very high status, perhaps even royalty.
