Description: | An incomplete copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle frame of Medieval date. The offset integral bar and pin are missing due to old breaks. The frame is sub-oval or D-shaped, flat oval shaped in section and with a widened outer edge. The outer edge is slightly moulded (scalloped) and has three incised pin grooves, one of which preserves traces of gilding. The inner edge of the frame is offset where the integral bar would have once been attached. There are further traces of gilding on the inner edge of the frame. The fram measures 16.33mm in width, 20.98mm in height, and weighs 1.81g.Similar parallels to this example are noted in 13th to 15th century AD contexts from Medieval London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 274) and in Read (1995: nos. 244-248). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
