Description: | Frame and part of forked spacer plate from a composite buckle, made from greyish copper alloy. The frame is oval, 31 mm wide, and has a pointed pin rest. The pin is made from a greener copper alloy and is wrapped around a constriction between the two forks of the spacer. It has a projecting rectangular lobe at the junction of the shaft and the loop. The spacer plate is of the type illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 1991, no. 325, with two steps from the pin constriction to the long forked arms. Both of the long arms are missing with only short stubs extending from the steps. There are traces of solder on both faces of the spacer, and one of the arms also has a green copper-alloy rivet passing through it. This is very unusual; it might be expected that breaks would be mended here with solder. Total surviving length 34 mm. These buckles date to the 14th century. | Subjects: | composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
