Description: | An iron buckle frame with an integral plate, probably dating from the medieval period. It is 115.32mm long, 38.52mm wide and 5.82mm thick. It weighs 44.8g. The buckle has a D shaped frame, but the straight bar is at the opposite end to the plate. The frame and the bar curve up and forwards from the plate. The plate is sub rectangular, narrow at the frame end and flaring towards the other end. Corrosion obscures any evidence of rivet holes or a pin hole. Buckles with integral plates are believed to date from 1250 to 1400 (See Whitehead??s ??Buckles?? and Marshall??s ??Buckles through the Ages??). The object was found at Towton Battlefield, and it may be related to the battle in 1461. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
