Description: | A complete and slightly unevenly cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It has an oval shaped frame with flat back and faceted edges producing a hexagonal section. There is an integral, but not offset, bar and the entire frame has extensive tool marks. The pin is formed from a single rectangular sheet of copper alloy with one end folded around the frame of the buckle, and the other tapering to a point. The pin measures 25.77mm in length, is slightly curved in profile, perhaps due to post-depositional damage, and extends just beyond the outer edge of the frame. The entire frame measures 34.13mm in height, 23.42mm in width, 2.54mm in thickness, and weighs 5.19g.
Similar buckles are noted in Medieval Winchester (Biddle, 1990: no. 1195) and Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 150, 162), which indicate a date in the 15th to 17th centuries AD for the current example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
