Description: | Late C13th - C15th Copper alloy, cast, unusually large and decorated buckle - probable sword belt buckle. Possibly of foreign origin with both the tongue and two corner bifid extensions protruding beyond the normal 'D' shape loop. Length 50.2mm, Width 48.5mm, Thickness 7.9mm, Weight 29.9g. The tongue is made from a higher copper content alloy than the bronze like alloy of the buckle frame. The front surface has a crudely inscribed three petal tulip like flower decoration with three small hand punched annulets on each petal. There are multiple annulets in the background all within a crudely inscribed border. The back surface is plain and there is a very attractive even dark green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burr, Geoff - West Kent Metal Detector Club | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
