Description: | A cast copper single looped trapezoidal shaped buckle. The loop is decorated with a knop at each corner, has a triangular protruding notch and a narrowed off-set semi-circular sectioned strap bar. The reverse ofthe frame is flat and undecorated. The pin is a sub rectangle which is curled around the strap bar. The frame has a dark grey patina and the pin a dark green/brown patina. The buckle measures 22.05mm long and 14.48mm wide. It weighs 1.8g.
Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate trapezoidal shaped buckles (No. 434) which date to the late 14th century, however this example is not decorated with knop. No. 314 is an oval buckle decorated with similar knops, dating to the late 13th to mid 14th century. Ottaway and Rogers (Ottaway, P. and Rogers, N. 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds From Medieval York York Archaeological Trust and CBA) illustrate a similar rectangular buckle (No. 12885) with decorative knops and a triangular notch which dates to the 14th century. When the decorative aspects and general shape are considered and compared to other examples as described, the buckle is likely to date to the late 13th to 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
