Description: | A copper-alloy buckle of probable 13th or 14th century AD date (G.Egan and F.Pritchard; 1991; pp. 108). It has been suggested that this group of buckles, all of which are of solid construction, were used with spurs.
The frame and plate are integral to each other. The frame is sub-circular in plan, high sided, with flat inner and outer faces. At the centre point of the outer edge is a pointed pin rest with a horizontal slot. The plate is sub-rectangular and has three circular holes, aligned horizontally. The hole at the left hand end (as you look at it) contains iron corrosion, suggesting it was the attachment point for the now-missing pin; the other two are presumably rivet holes.
The object measures 41.1mm long by 19.4mm high and 4.6mm thick; it weighs 8.98g. | Subjects: | Integral plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
