Description: | A frame from a copper-alloy Single-loop buckle of medieval date. Parallels for this frame type were found at Meols, Cheshire. Classified as a Type 10, they were dated to the late 14th century AD (see Griffiths et al, 2007, p. 90 and Pl. 14, nos. 544-548).
The frame is roughly oval in plan and has narrow upper and lower sides with steep inner and outer faces. At the centre of the expanded outer side is a wide pin rest with four transverse grooves which continue on the underside. At the top and bottom this pin rest extends into an angled corner prong. The axis bar is offset and the pin is missing.
The buckle measures 21.1mm long, 18.1mm wide and 4.4mm thick. The weight is 2.62g. | Subjects: | Single-loop | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
