Description: | An incomplete rectangular double-looped buckle frame of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. One half of the frame including the integral central bar and pin survive intact, the remainder now missing due to an old break. The back of the frame is flat, while the front is faceted giving a triangular shaped section. There is no decoration on the front face of the frame or a pin rest. The central bar is square in section and worn towards the middle due to the presence of the pin. The pin itself comprises a single, flat and rectangular shaped strip of copper alloy, 21.56mm in length, that is folded around the central bar and at its other end tapers to a point, which extends beyond the outer edge of the buckle frame. The buckle measures 20.25mm in width, 22.86mm in height, and weighs 3.32g. Similar double looped rectangular buckle frames are noted in Medieval contexts in London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 442) and survive into the Post-Medieval period (see for example Read, 1995: nos. 900-903). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
