Description: | A small, complete cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle of medieval date. The buckle frame is oval with a lipped outer edge. On the upper surface this features a tapering triangular groove in which the pin sits. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. The lower surface of the frame is flat while the upper surface is bevelled externally. The pin is of solid construction with hints of side flanges. The small plate (L.: c. 16mm) is of folded construction. It is sub-rectangular with incurving edges at the attachment end. It is bent around the pin bar with a slot for the pin and recesses for the frame. There is a rivet hole at the attachment end with its rivet in situ. The whole has a dull dark green colour. The plate is slightly corroded and scratched. Buckle frames of similar form and size can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 74-75; refs. 306-309). They have been found in London in contexts dating to the late 13th and 14th centuries. | Subjects: | single-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
