Description: | Cast copper alloy single loop oval buckle with folded plate. The buckle loop, an elongated oval, has a narrowed and offset strap bar, and is plain apart from a moulded rest for the pin. The folded plate is secured by three copper alloy rivets along its long edge, which would have secured the plate to the belt strap. The plate is damaged at one corner, and one of the rivets is missing. Some remains of the leather belt strap survive between the folded plate. The front of the plate is decorated with a pair of parallel incised lines, which run down the strap edge of the plate. A series of incised diagonal lines between these form a 'zig-zag' pattern. The buckle loop measures 68.17mm by 24.26mm by 4.95mm, whilst the plate measures 56.99mm by 20.61mm by 4.56mm. Overall the buckle is 68.17mm long by 39.21mm wide. No exact parallel for this type of buckle and plate is recorded in Whitehead (1996), but he dates buckles of this general form to between circa AD 1250-1400. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
