Description: | A copper-alloy frame from a Single-loop buckle of medieval date. Evidence from excavations in London suggests that the fashion for ornate buckle frames and plates probably spanned the period of the late 12th to late 14th centuries AD (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp.76).
No exact parallel could be found for this buckle. The frame is roughly D-shaped, has an expanded and downward-sloping outer side, and a large moulded lobe at each of the two distal corners. The axis bar is offset and of rectangular section. The pin is missing and the frame is heavily corroded.
It measures 16.44mm long, 18.41mm wide and 1.97mm thick. It weighs 1.15g. | 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 |
