Description: | 1: A double oval-shaped copper-alloy buckle frame and pin. The frame measures 33mm in length and 22mm in width. The front face id convbex and the back face is flat. The central bar is straight and narrowed. The copper-alloy pin is attached to the bar via an open loop and it tapers to a point.
2: A complete copper-alloy double oval shaped buckle frame, measuring 27mm by 22mm in size. The central bar is narrowed and the front face of this buckle frame convex and the back face flat.
3: A rectangular shaped copper-alloy double looped buckle frame measuring 29mm by 18mm in size. The bar is narrowed and the outer edges of the frame slightly expanded.
4: A double oval shaped copper-alloy buckle frame measuring 40mm by 22mm in size. The front face is convex and the back face is flat. The outer edges are expanded to form a point in their centre and each one has a transverse pin rest in its centre. Within these pin rests and where the frame joins the bar traces of gilding can be seen.
5: A rectangular shaped copper-alloy double buckle frame measuring 32mm by 21mm in size, the frame is complete but bent. The front face is convex and the back face is flat. The corner of each of the outer edges has a projecting oval-shaped knop.
6: A complete copper-alloy rectangular shaped double looped buckle frame, measuring 41mm by 20mm in size. The outer edges of this frame are expanded to form triangular shaped projections, there are also smaller triangular shaped projections at the point where the frame joins the bar. The colour of the copper-alloy that this buckle frame is made of is quite silvery indicationg perhaps a high tin or lead content.
7: A double looped copper-alloy buckle frame, measuring 26mm by 17mm in size. One loop has a rounded outer edge and the other has a square outer edge. There are transverse grooves along both of the outer edges. Traces of tinning can be seen on the front face.
8: A complete copper-alloy double looped buckle frame, measuring 18mm by 14mm in size. The outer edge of one loop is rounded and the other is square. The front face os the frame is convex and the back face flat.
9: A complete copper-alloy double D-shaped buckle frame and attached pin. Measuring 25mm by 24mm in size. The front face of this frame is convex and the back face is flat. The outer edges are decorated with two transverse projecting knops either side of a slight constriction with transverse grooves within it. The bar is narrowed and the pin is attached to it via an open loop, and tapers to a point.
10: An oval shaped copper-alloy buckle frame measuring 25mm by 20mm in size. The bar is offset and narrowed and the outer edge is expanded with a projecting point in its centre.
11: A complete copper-alloy buckle frame with a integral plate. The frame is circular in shape measuring 18mm in diameter, the outer edge of the frame is decorated with evenly spaced triangular-shaped knops. There is a pierced circular hole in the plate through which there is a wire copper-alloy pin, it is attached via an open loop and tapers to a point. Beyond this there is a rectangular perforation, which would have allowed the plate to be attached to the strap.
All of these buckle frames are Medieval or possibly early Post-Medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
