Description: | A copper alloy buckle fragment which is probably medieval in date. Part of the frame of the buckle survives. It would have been oval and narrow with an offset bar. One bar terminal survives. The pin rest is a groove in the extremely extended outer edge of the frame which forms an almost triangular but truncated plate with rounded lobes at the outer corners. The buckle is 39.8mm long, 27.5mm wide and 2.8mm thick. It is very similar to others recorded on the database such as NMS-873EE3 and BH-DE0905. There are also similar examples on page 24 of ??Buckles?? by Ross Whitehead. This style of buckle often seems to date from the thirteenth century, but examples are also known from earlier and later contexts. This example has an undisturbed grey green patina and minute traces of gilt. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
