Description: | A large cast copper-alloy oval medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. A heavily corroded iron pin survives looped around the offset and narrowed pin bar. Retained within this loop is a copper-alloy fragment of irregular form, presumably a remnant of the plate. The frame's outer edge has knopped ends which travel slightly outwards. Between the knops are five transverse grooves on the upper surface, delineating four ridges of slightly varying widths. The internal and external faces of the frame are bevelled on both faces. The sides are outcuving. The buckle is worn with a mide-green 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. | 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 |
