Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy, medieval composite buckle. The buckle frame is oval in plan, bevelled with a pointed lip with pin notch. The pin bar is narrowed. The copper alloy pin survives and is simply curled around the bar. Extending from either side of the pin bar are the two arms of the forked spacer, one missing its very tip. The break edge is worn suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. There are no remains of the rigid plates that would have sandwiched the forked spacer that would have completed the composite form of the buckle. The object has a dark brown patina with patches of light green corrosion product. The buckle is 31.2mm long, is 14.7mm wide and weighs 2.47g. A parallel, minus its pin, can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, figure 48, number 325. Buckles of this type date from the mid 14th to early 15th century. | Subjects: | Composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
