Description: | Mediaeval copper alloy buckle with a short fork spacer and sheet covering forming a composite plate. The frame is 20.5mm tall with an aperture 15.5mm high and 10mm across where the pin falls. The frame is almost 2mm thick on the inner side adjacent to the aperture, tapering or chamfered to 0.5mm at the outer edge. The pin is formed of 1mm bronze wire and is bent back upon itself to form an attachment. The overall plate length is 13mm and thickness 4.5mm. The 'fork' of the frame extends some 8mm back from the shoulder and is enclosed by a folded sheet of metal 1mm thick. At the end opposite to the surviving buckle, where this plate is folded over to return on the underside, the sheet is pierced to a width of 8mm, apparently incorporating a rod on which another buckle-pin or similar fastening was attached. The underside of the buckle is flat. | 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
