Description: | A complete copper-alloy double oval looped buckle frame most likely to be medieval in date. This frame measures 43mm in width and 19mm in length. The front face is faceted and file marks can be seen across it. There is a protruding longitudinal moulding running down the central bar, which has decorative grooves across it and presumably represents foliage of some sort. The outer edges are expanded, one has a central projecting acorn with large leaves to either side of this again decorated with grooves, there is an incised cross at the centre of the acorn. The other outer edge has two smaller knops which flank a central double transverse groove.
No parallel could be found for this ornate double looped frame but its style suggests a medieval circa 14th-15th century date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
