Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a central, pointed lip and internal notched pin rest. The frame is flat underneath and bevelled on the upper surface and has been narrowed at the spacer for the pin. In cross-section it is triangular with rounded corners. The cast triangular pin survives in situ, although it has been bent. The spacer has a rectangular aperture next to the frame (W.: 7.9mm). Neither prong extends very far - max. 8.4mm from the frame. The fact that both prong terminals have received similar treatment - diagonal removals - makes it difficult to know whether this was their original length or not. The spacer is recessed on both upper and lower surfaces to accommodate the missing plates. The buckle frame and spacer have a dull dark green colour overlaid with dusty, lighter corrosion product. Similar examples of this buckle type can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 78-82) where they are dated to the mid 14th/early 15th century. Buckle frame dimensions - L.: 16.05mm, W.: 19.7mm, Th.: 3.05mm; Spacer dimensions - W.: 13.7mm, recessed Th.: 2.05mm | Subjects: | composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
