Description: | Incomplete Medieval copper alloy buckle with oval frame and integral plate, missing its pin and hook. It has traces of gilding over the entire surface. It measures 45.2mm in length and weighs 10.33g.
The oval loop frame is 24.3mm wide and internally 21.0x10.1mm. The outside edge has a bar running along it with rounded ends and a tiny transverse notch at the centre for the pin to rest on. At the opposite side of the frame a triangular plate extends angled downwards, with a diagonal rib moulding either side. The edges of the plate extend downwards at a slight angle. A circular piercing 3.7mm in diameter lies behind the frame.
The top of the triangular plate is truncated by a flatter, rectangular plate (16.2x10.8mm) with a piercing 3.7mm in diameter. The broken hook projects beyond, 6.2mm wide, 3.2mm thick and an incomplete length of c.7mm.
The slight angling of the buckle plate suggests a specialist use, possibly for a spur. The style of the frame dates it to the 13th/ 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
