Description: | A copper-allloy buckle frame and attached pin. The frame is D-shaped and measures 23mm in length and 15mm in width. The bar is offset and narrowed for the missing plate, the pin is in place and looped around the bar it is 16mm in length and tapers to a point. The outer edge of the frame is wider than the rest of the frame and has been decorated on its front face with two back-to-back swans necks and heads. The outer edge of the frame is also the most corroded part of it. The size and shape of this buckle is similar to those found in London which have been dated to the late 14th century onwards (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 53, 70). However, although some of these parallels do have mouldings on their outer edges none have this two-headed swan design. | 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
