Description: | Medieval/Post-Medieval buckle with integral plate. Rectangular frame with notch for pin on outside edge. The pin, tip missing, is held within slot in the frame, pivoting on a copper alloy spindle whose housing is marked on the front by a swelling on both pin and frame. The plate tapers slightly to a transverse rib which projects from the sides, beyond which there is an incomplete lobe with round aperture. Length >37mm. Frame 13 x 29mm. Plate width 6 ?? 10.5mm. The hinged pin and sharply rectangular frame are unusual features. The object must have served some specialised function. One possibility is that it was for attaching a spur. Cf. similar examples from North Elmham (HER 38164 and 49059), Horsham St Faith (HER 35284) and Stody (HER 50107). Probably 15th ?? 17th century | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
