Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame of medieval date. The artefact is an irregular D-shape with prominent protruding outer edge such that it tends towards the sub-triangular. The frame has been twisted and broken at the narrowed and off-set strap bar: only part of the bar survives while the pin is missing. The protrusion forms the pin rest and features a central pin groove along its width. It terminates with a curve; there is a protruding lobe at either end of the curve. The upper edge is decorated with designs created using a small triangular roulette. There are two bordered fields either side of the pin rest. One contains triangles with diagonal lines between. The other contains a foliate curvilinear incised pattern. The lower surface is flat and plain. Similar examples can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 24; e.g. 109). Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the 13th and 14th centuries. | Subjects: | Single-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
