Description: | A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin and plate. The frame's expanded outer edge has knopped ends which travel outwards slightly. Delineating the knops are fine, raised transverse ridges. There is a pair of similar ridges central on the outer edge which would have acted as a pin rest. The is a further, wider moulding between the central ridges and the ridge by the knop on both sides. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. The frame between is bevelled both internally and externally on its upper surface faces, more gradually internally. The lower surface is largely flat. The buckle has corroded to a dark grey colour with some patches of mid-light green corrosion product. The buckle appears to have been very slightly bent. In London similar buckles have been found in contexts dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. Duly, a wide date range is offered for this example. | Subjects: | single-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
