Description: | A single looped oval buckle with integral forked spacer, cast in copper alloy. The buckle plate is missing. One of the prongs of the fork has broken off.
The pin recess (and the surviving pin) sit in-between the forks of the spacer, on the strap bar. The buckle frame has a triangluar lip projection where the terminal of the pin would once have rested.
The front of the oval buckle has a chamfered edge, but the fork and the reverse of the oval buckle are flat and have squared edges.
The artefact is a dark greyish-green colour. It is in a good condition. It probably dates from circa 1300 - 1600. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991), pp78-82, Fig 48 and 49, No. 322-330. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
