Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy spur buckle with integral plate ending in a hook. The buckle loop is oval projecting down into a point at the plate end. The plate is rectangular with a pin hole by the loop with a smaller rivet hole next to it (probably to hold a strap loop see Whitehead (2003) p.32 no.176). At the attachment end the plate widens into a square terminal from which projects the tapering hook which is bent upwards and over 180 degrees. There is a seperate copper alloy rivet in the centre of the square terminal with traces of possible gilding around it. There are small projecting knops at the joint between the plate and the loop. It is 47.4mm long, 13.5mm wide and 2.4mm thick, and weighs 13.5g.
Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (p.32, No.177) which he dates c.1250-1400 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Locke, Timothy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
