Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy buckle. In plan the buckle was probably originally a ??D?? shaped buckle with an offset strap bar. What remains of the frame is the majority of the loop, but there is no strap bar. The breaks are not recent as the patina covers the terminals. The exterior edge of the apex of the loop is triangular in plan with a notch traversing the frame. The flat upper surface of the frame is decorated with cross-hatching. The terminal of the strap bar is off-set and slightly narrowed. The reverse of the frame is flat and undecorated. The pin is missing. The surface has a matte mid green patina. The fragment measures 33.64mm wide and c. 22mm long from the apex to the estimated position of the strap bar. It weighs 2.7g.
Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate a similar buckle, No. 310 which is dated to the second half of the 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
