Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy buckle of probable medieval date. The piece consists of one half of a folded plate, probably from a single-loop buckle.
The sides of the plate are decoratively cut, coming to a narrow waist at the centre of the horizontal edges and being rounded at the attachment end (ie. that furthest from the frame). At the frame end of the plate a decorative projection on each side gives way to narrowed shoulders, which would have helped to accommodate the now-missing axis bar. At the centre of the vertical side is a wide pin slot. There are three rivet holes - one at the centre of the attachment end and two at the opposite end.
In its current bent condition the piece measures 15.5mm long, 15.5mm wide and 0.7mm thick. The weight is 1.51g. | 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 |
