Description: | Copper Alloy folded sheet buckle plate. A simple plate, with no surface decoration, and a simple shallow notched knop at the strap end. Secured by a line of three rivets at the strap end, with a trace of (mineralised) leather strap 10.2mm wide surviving inside. One of the two loops to attach the buckle is missing. A trace of the iron buckle survives as a corroded patch inside the other loop. The plate is probably medieval, but is difficult to date due to its simplicity and the fact that the buckle itself is lost. Similar frames can be found in Egan (2002) 'Dress Accessories' and Marshall 'Buckles Through The Ages' dating from Saxon (6th or 7th century) through to Medieval (up to 1500 and later). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crump, Barry - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
