Description: | A copper-alloy complete buckle with an integral plate in excellent condition. The buckle frame is oval in shape, with a slightly expanded outer edge. The plate has a circular pin hole, and the pin is present, it is sheet copper-alloy and is attached to the plate via an open loop, it has a transverse ridge after the loop. The plate is triangular in shape where it joins the frame and then tapers before flaring into two parallel crescentic-shapes, it terminates with a triangular-shaped point. There are two circular perforations through the plate, one behind the pin hole and one inbetween the two crescentic parts. The front face of the buckle has a shiny copper patina and the back face is dark. This buckle is medieval in date and similar buckles have been found in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 79). | 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: | 1066
