Description: | A copper alloy buckle frame that dates from the medieval period. The frame is rectangular with slightly convex sides. It is 17.8mm long and 17.8mm wide. The bar is recessed and offset and is worn at the edges where the plate hinges would have been. There are very slight ridges on the outside of the frame sides which run transversely across the frame, one at each end of each side. The frame is 4.2mm thick. The outer edge is thick and is decorated with four transverse grooves. The gap between the middle ones probably acted as the pin rest. The pin and the plate are missing and the frame has a grey/brown patina with very little corrosion. A close parallel to this buckle is number 437 on page 96 of ??Dress Accessories?? by Egan and Pritchard (1991). It dates from 1350 to 1400 and a similar date is likely for this example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
