Description: | A cast copper-alloy composite buckle. The frame is oval with a sub-triangular cross-section. The pin and the integrally cast forked spacer are still intact but the decorative outer plates are missing. The frame is 19mm long (pin bar to outer edge) and 25.6mm wide, with a decorative pointed knop projecting out at the pin rest. The loop has a flat internal face (inside the loop) and a flat bottom face (where it would have rested on the strap) and a sloping outer face, to give the sub-triangular cross-section. The pin is present and made of copper alloy wire, rectangular in section (1.5mm x 1.8mm), bent in a swan's neck over the top of the pin bar and meeting itself again underneath. The spacer forks are approximately 17mm long and 16.5mm apart. This style of buckle frame dates to the late 14th or early 15th century. | Subjects: | composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
