Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of probable mid 13th to late 15th century AD date.
The frame is trapezoidal, decreasing slightly in width towards the axis bar. The horizontal sides of the frame are of rectangular section, the axis bar is of square section and the vertical outer side is wider, has a downward-sloping outer edge and three incised grooves (the pin rest) at the centre. The plate, which is bent double around the axis bar, is sub-rectangular in plan and has five columns of punched vertical dots at its proximal (attachment) end. The upper side of the plate is slightly larger than the underside and its edges have been bent downwards slightly, presumably to prevent movement of the missing leather strap. There is a single rivet hole at the proximal end of the buckle plate and a pin slot at the distal end. The pin itself is missing.
The buckle measures 34.6mm long, 15.5mm high and 3.2mm thick. The weight is 3.22g. | Subjects: | Single-loop | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
