Description: | Incomplete Medieval copper alloy oval buckle frame with forked spacer arms and a wire pin, missing the end of one arm. It measures 43.9x24.2mm and weighs 5.3g.
The internal dimensions of the oval frame are 11.9x16.8mm. The outside edge is bevelled and reaches a slight triangular projection at the centre but a pin notch is not apparent.
The arms of the forked spacer extend behind the oval frame, either side of the pin (the bar is not offset). The arms narrow then step inwards before narrowing again, to a point on the complete arm. The arms are rough on both sides where the rigid plates would have originally fixed.
Similar examples in Egan and Pritchard (1991) date between 1350 and 1450. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
