Description: | A distorted cast copper alloy buckle of medieval date. The plain D-shaped single loop buckle measures 23.7mm by 16.5mm by 2.5mm and weighs 2.17g. It has an offset and narrowed strap bar which protrudes from one side of the loop. The tapering pin has been separately cast in a more copper-rich alloy and is wrapped around the strap bar. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London' (1991, pp. 69-70, nos. 271 and 274). This buckle probably dates from the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
