Description: | A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin and plate. The frame's large outer edge has knopped ends which travel slightly outwards. Between the knops are three transverse grooves, delineating two equal ridges; the pin would have sat between these latter. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on its upper surface faces, more gradually internally. The lower surface is largely flat. The buckle has corroded to a dark grey colour with some lighter, pitted areas from corrosion. The sides and pin bar have been bent as a result of old damage. In London similar buckles have been found in contexts dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. Duly, a wide date range is offered for this example. | Subjects: | single-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
