Description: | Copper-alloy buckle, complete with frame and plate. The frame is 'D'-shaped, with a separate bar; the frame has a circular hole at each end through which the bar is fixed, and its ends are secured by being tapped flush with the frame. The outer edge of the frame is therefore set vertically., and has a slightly curved indentation on its upper side forming a notched pin rest. The pin is made from copper-alloy wire curled around the bar.
The buckle plate is a rectangular strip which has been folded over the bar. The centre of the fold has a rectangular slot which terminates with a circle to accommodate the base of the pin. The lower plate is shorter than the upper plate. The upper plate has a single rivet protruding on the reverse, and the lower plate has a matching rivet hole, but in side view the two plates have sprung apart to form a 'V' shape. The object has a well developed blue-green patina.
There are several comparable buckles on the PAS database; for example, NMS-104CF2, SOM-ED83D2, NMS-E13256 and NMS-3B8FE2. | 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
