Description: | A complete copper-alloy buckle. The frame is D-shaped measuring 24mm in length and 14mm in width, its bar is offset and narrowed. The outer edge is slightly expanded and has a central transverse rectangular slot for the pin to rest in. The pin is also copper-alloy and attached to the bar via an open loop, it is 13.4mm in length and tapers to a point. The copper-alloy buckle plate is recessed for the frame and the back face of the plate is folded to meet the back of the front face but no rivet holds them together. The plate is rectangular in shape, 23mm in length and 17mm in width, and has two parallel projections from near to either corner of its inside edge, these projections consist of a rectangular shaped protrusion, 13mm in length terminating with a circular loop. The front face of the plate is decorated with transverse lines and roughly semi-circular patterns. Traces of gilding can also be seen. This buckle is unusual, due to the two projections from its plate and no exact parallel could be found, however, it is most likely to be medieval 13th to 15th century in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
