Description: | A very corroded and incomplete oval shaped buckle frame with integral composite plate. Most of the loop, the inner edges of the composite buckle and the tip of the pin are all missing due to old breaks. The loop is trapezoidal in section with a flat back and bevelled exterior edges. The plate has an integral forked spacer with a rectangular pin slot, as well as upper and lower sheet copper alloy plates that are rectangular in section and terminate in old breaks. There is a single circular rivet that pierces both plates at the inner edge of the surviving plate. The pin is formed from a short length of cylindrical copper wire that has been folded around the frame and terminates in an old break. The surviving fragment measures 32.79mm in width, 19.79mm in height, 4.83mm in thickness, and weighs 5.41g.
A similar composite buckle frame is noted from Medieval London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 324), and this suggests a date in the 14th century for the current example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
