Description: | A complete copper alloy Medieval buckle frame with integral plate. It may be a spur buckle. It has an oval frame, and the pin is in situ, folded around the hole left for it within the shoulder of the plate. The pin is rectangular in section and tapers to a point where it rests at the outside edge of the frame. The shoulder of the plate is decorated with two grooves, and there is a rivet in situ behind the pin hole. The plate tapers to its midpoint where there is a protruding collar, before it swells into a circular terminal finishing with a central point. There are holes perforated in this terminal on either side of a rivet in situ close to the point. There are traces of gilding on the outer surface of the object, which measures 44mm in width and 3.8g in weight. The frame is 13.92mm in length and the plate tapers from 10.87mm at the shoulder to 5.14mm at its midpoint and 9mm at its terminal.
Egan and Pritchard 1991 fig 48 nos 320, 321 and Egan in Clark 1995, fig.109 show illustrations of similar, though less ornate examples, which may be spur buckles. | Subjects: | spur | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
