Description: | Complete copper-alloy locking buckle. The frame is rectangular, 28 x 17 mm, with a widened outer edge which has a flatter outer flange. The frame has tall shaped sides which are drilled to take a bar; this expands into a curved locking arm which ends in a globular terminal decorated with worn oblique grooving. On the bar swivels a pin made up of a tube enclosing the bar and a pointed shaft projecting at right angles. Originally the curved arm may have engaged onto the flange and prevented the end of the pin from lifting, but the pin is now too short for this to work. Seeing as the pin would normally be held down by the tension of the strap, this type of buckle may have had a specialist use. Recorded dimensions include the curved arm. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1300
