Description: | A cast copper alloy oval-framed buckle with plate still attached. The buckle has two knobs projecting outwards with two raised bands in between. The oval frame has been slightly worn away at the sides to form a more angular appearance. (Length of buckle: 19mm; width: 23mm). The pin is missing, but the plate (made of a folded metal sheet) still has the holes for where the pin should be. There is a set of crude, engraved and dotted parallel lines running around the outer edge of the plate (length of plate: 39mm; width: 16mm). Evidence of two rivets on the upper and under sides of the plate. However, in comparison to the other rivets, there is only a hole remaining on the under side where one of the rivets does not survive. The plate's folded sheet has separated and the rivets in between have broken as a result. There is no decoration on the under side of the plate. Overall, the buckle and plate are in good condition with a smooth dark green-brown patina. In comparison with finds found in London, this basic style of buckle and plate was a long-lasting fashion, in use from the late 12th to the late 14th centuries (Egan & Pritchard, 1991). | 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: | 1175
