Description: | A complete copper alloy Medieval oval shaped buckle frame. It is oval in shape with thickened outer edge, flattened back, and integral offset bar. At the point where the integral bar joins the frame is a small groove that creates the impression that the bar protrudes with two small knops at either side of the frame. The copper alloy pin is flat and rectangular in section. It is looped around the integral bar and tapers to a sharp point. There are traces on the upper surfaces of the frame of what might have been an added white metal coating. The buckle measures 12.64mm in width, 13.99mm in height, and weighs 1.06g. Near identical parallels in terms of size and shape can be noted in 14th century AD examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 274) and Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 144). It is likely that this buckle frame is of similar date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
