Description: | A worn medieval cast copper-alloy rectangular buckle frame; the buckle is incomplete as it is missing its pin. The frame has slightly convex sides, although without a ridge near each corner as is common on such frames. The outer edge is thick (5.1mm wide), and features three filed central transverse grooves; the central groove would have acted as a pin rest. The outermost edge on the upper face is bevelled. The pin bar is slightly offset and narrowed. There is a small, slightly off centre protrusion on the internal face of the pin bar, possibly the remnant of a casting sprue. Buckle frames of this form tend to be dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. This example has oxidised to a dark grey colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
