Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite buckle of Medieval date. It has an oval shaped frame with a flat back and bevelled top and outer edge. There is a projecting pin rest at the centre of the outer frame which is triangular in plan. The pin is now missing. The back edge of the frame has two projecting forked spacers which would have fit between the missing plates. The spacers are stepped and have a sub-rectangular aperture which expands and defines the prongs, one of which is snapped off at this point. The frame and spacers are defined from each other by an incised line. Similar examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 80-81 No. 325). These composite buckles date from the late 14th to the early 15th century AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
