Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle.
The buckle has a narrowed and off-set strap bar. The opposite edge of the frame has three barrel mouldings. The corner knops are decorated with incised lines. The central knop is decorated with a groove for the pin to sit in. The pin is missing. Iron staining can be seen on the strap bar, indicating that this buckle had an iron pin.
The reverse is moulded like the front.
The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a light greyish-green colour and is pitted.
This type of buckle dates from circa 1250 ?? 1400. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, p21. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
