Description: | A copper-alloy buckle plate from a medieval buckle. The buckle frame and pin are missing. The frame recess and pin slot are formed by a fold in the metal which has then been cut to form the slot. Immediately behind the slot is a circular perforation which is presumably a rivet hole for a attachment to a leather strap. The shape of the plate is sub-rectangular and it is slightly waisted, expanding at the back. There is some decoration consisting of linear bands at the reverse, although this is quite worn. Similar examples are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, particularly 66; 262). Many of these date from between 1350 and 1400 and it is likely that this example is of a similar date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brindle, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
