Description: | Medieval copper alloy roughly D-shaped buckle frame (the outside edge is rather more V-shaped) with traces of gilding complete with sheet pin and slightly bent. It measures 21.3x24.6 (internal 14x13.5mm) and weighs 4.07g.
The axis bar is narrowed and offset and the outside edge is decorated with three large flat, globular bosses (5mm wide, 3mm high), rivetted to the frame at the centre of the V-shape, and at top and bottom. The pin rests on the area between the central and top or bottom boss.
The pin is 2.3mm wide around the axis bar, widening to 2.8mm before narowing again to the point.
Much of the original patina is lost from the frame but a few flecks of gilding can be seen around the bosses.
Probably late 13th to mid 15th century in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
