Description: | A copper-alloy oval-shaped buckle frame and attached plate. The frame measures 15mm in length and 12mm in width. The outer edge is wider and traces of gilding remain on the front face of the frame, the bar is offset and narrowed. The buckle plate is rectangular in shape, recessed for the frame and measures 23mm in length and 10mm in width, it is formed by folding a sheet of copper-alloy, and has a rivet in place near to the frame edge holding the two halfs of the sheet together. The attachment end of the plate is incomplete but the remains of two parallel rivet holes can be seen. There is a circmference decorative groove on the front face, the back face is undecorated. Similar buckles have been found in London and have been dated to the Medieval period (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 74 and75, Fig 45, No 304). | 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: | 1200
