Description: | A cast copper-alloy annular buckle of medieval/post-medieval date. The buckle has a central pin bar; the pin is missing. The reverse of the object is flat, while the upper surface is bevelled both internally and externally; the pin bar has a triangular cross-section with rounded corners. One of the sides of the buckle has been bent upwards, presumably not deliberately as the pin bar has also been bent. The frame has been filed straight at one end of the pin bar. Around the centre of the pin bar is some dark orange staining suggesting that the pin was made of iron. Other than this the buckle has a mid-green patina. As such buckles were used within the medieval and post-medieval periods a wide date range is offered for this artefact. | Subjects: | annular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
