Description: | A buckle with an oval frame and an off-set narrowed bar. With a rectangular plate, a slot for the missing pin, and recessed for the frame on the front, folded widthways, with the back plate narrower than front plate and broken across a rivet hole at the end. There is an empty rivet hole at the attachment edge, with a second rivet in centre. With an engraved line around the edge of the front plate. Gilding survives well on the frame and front plate. A break on the plate to one side of the pin slot has been mended by a irregular strip of metal being passed through the front then back plate (as if a third rivet) and then folded around the bar. The frame measures 14.5mm x 16mm. Plate 31mm x 11mm. Cf. Egan and Pritchard (2002, 75, fig.45, no.304) 12th ?? 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crawford, Becky | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
