Description: | A copper-alloy frame from a single-loop buckle of medieval date.
The upper surfaces of the D-shaped frame slope downwards and outwards, the inner face is vertical and the underside is flat. The offset axis bar is of rectangular section and it is separated from the frame by a vertical groove. The pin is made from a flattened and tapering strip of copper-alloy. It is wound loosely around the axis bar. The colour of the frame is a dull grey, suggesting it contains a high percentage of lead or tin.
The buckle measures 17mm long, 24.8mm wide and 4.4mm thick. The weight is 2.3g. | Subjects: | Single-loop | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
