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 expanded outer edge has knopped ends which travel outwards slightly. Delineating the knops are raised transverse ridges. One of the knops appears to bear traces of decoration in the form of a pair of short longitudinal lines with a row of punches in pairs between. There is a further pair of ridges central on the outer edge which would have acted as a pin rest. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. It features a slight central notch externally and accompanying protrusion internally. The frame is gradually bevelled internally. The decoration and bevelling feature on both faces. The buckle has corroded to a dull mid-grey colour with some patches of lighter corrosion product and dirt. 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 |
