Description: | Remarkable Medieval/Post Medieval buckle with incomplete integral plate. Sub-rectangular frame far wider than long. The down-curving end of the cast rectangular section pin rests in a notch in the centre of the frame. The pin pivots on a spindle through a longitudinal gap in the plate. The rear end of the pin and the bar of the frame are thickened to accommodate the spindle. At the rear of the gap for the pin, the plate expands into a collar, behind which projects a worn rectangular-sectioned suspension loop with an oval aperture. Frame 13 x 29mm. Average thickness of frame 3mm. Overall length 36mm. Width of frame bar 7.5mm (collar 9mm).
This must have served some specialised function. Parallels have been noted at North Elmham and Horsham St Faith (35284). Perhaps 15th ??17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
