Description: | Incomplete Medieval copper alloy gilt oval buckle frame with sheet pin and broken plate, measuring 43.70mm in length and weighing 3.79g.
The buckle frame is heavily gilded and has an offset, narrowed bar and measures 13.45x16.62mm (internal 6.31x11.02mm). The pin retains no gilding.
The buckle plate curls around the axis bar and is narrower on the broken 'bottom' pate, at 7.43mm narrowing to 5.87mm at the break, over 17.75mm. The 'top' plate, which is heavily gilded, is max.11.48mm wide behind the axis bar, narrowing to 8.42mm. The edges are badly worn but appear to depict shallow grooves or punched decoration flanking them. Along the centre are three rivets, in situ . The bottom plate is broken just before the second.
A very similar example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p.75 no.304) dates to the middle of the thirteenth century. Other examples extend this from mid 12th to mid 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
