Description: | A copper-alloy frame from a Single-loop buckle of probable late 12th to late 14th century date (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p.76). Such buckles are common finds and there are numerous examples on the PAS database.
The frame is D-shaped and has steeply sloping sides which expand in width towards the centre of the outer side. The pin rest consists of an attached sheet metal roller made of a metal which is of a different character from that used in the frame. The axis bar is of circular section, offset from the main frame and has a notch at the centre. The pin is made from a flattened and tapering piece of copper-alloy wire.
The piece measures 21.8mm long, 20.3mm wide and 6.9mm thick. The weight is 4.43g. | 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 |
