Description: | Rectangular frame, possibly from a buckle but more probably from a strap clasp. The sides are curved in the centre; both the bar and outer edge are narrowed. If this is a buckle, the bar would have held a plate and pin and the outer edge would have held a separate roller; if it is a clasp, the bar would have held a plate and the outer edge would have held a rotating end. In general, however, buckles of this shape have a thickened and grooved outer edge which may be imitating a separate roller, so it is more likely that the object is a clasp. 13th to 15th century.17 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
