Description: | A medieval copper alloy buckle with folded sheet plate. The buckle is oval with an ornate outside edge. The outside edge has a trilobate extension with a central notch for the pin. The bar is offset and narrowed. The pin consists of a single piece of copper alloy which is bent around the bar. The buckle plate consists of a single rectangular sheet of copper alloy. The plate is wrapped around the buckle's bar and is recessed to accommodate the frame and the pin. The plate is secured by a single, circular section rivet. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with three rows of stamped rectangles and notches. Where the plate would meet the strap, there is a further circular section rivet piercing the plate. The plate also has two triangular cut outs.
The frame measures 19mm by 19.27mm. The plate measures 31.61mm by 15.4mm | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
