Description: | A small cast copper-alloy oval medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin and plate. The frame's outer edge has knopped ends which travel slightly outwards. Between the knops are four transverse grooves, delineating three ridges: one central larger ridge, with a narrower ridge on either side. On one face the central groove bears a transverse incision, presumably a pin rest. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. The internal and external faces of the frame are bevelled on both faces. The buckle is worn and corroded with a greyish patina. In London similar buckles have been found in contexts dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. Duly, a wide date range is offered for this example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
