Description: | Complete copper alloy medieval buckle. The buckle frame is oval with a narrow, off set pin bar. The pin survives and is simply curved around the bar, it tapers to a broad blunt point. The front edge of the buckle does not have a pronounced lip but appears to have a shallow, transverse groove acting as a pin rest. The original surface of the buckle is missing and exposed surfaces are light and bright green. The pin survives in better condition with it surface intact with a dark green patina. The buckle is 20.78mm long, 15.02mm wide 2.2mm thick and weighs 2.04g. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, page 42, in particular number 277. This buckle dates from the 13th or 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
