Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle.
The buckle has a narrowed and off-set strap bar. The outer edge of the frame is wide, with a notch of the pin to sit in.
The pin survives but the copper alloy is a different colour, possibly suggesting that the pin is a later addition, perhaps after the first one broke. The pin survives at a length of 25.72mm.
Most of the original surface survives and the metal is a dark jade-green colour and is slightly pitted. This type of buckle dates from circa 1250 ?? 1500. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p18. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Faux, Hannah - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
