Description: | The buckle has been cast from copper alloy. The buckle frame and plate are integral and measure from the edge of the loop to the terminal of the plate, 32.8mm. The width across the frame is 15.1mm.
The frame has an ornate outer edge, decorated with wide ribbing at the apex edge. On the opposite edge, where the plate joins the frame there is a small circular hole for the pin. The reverse of the frame is undecorated.
The plate is sub-rectangular in plan, which then has a waisted mid-portion. The terminal edge of the plate is a broken edge, which may have originaly had a culred hook (Egan and Pritchard p. 78). Behind the Pin hole is a rivet hole. The terminal of the plate has a second rivet hole with the remains of an iron rivet. In profile the plate is curved.
Following Egan and Pritchard these buckles can be dated to the early 13th to mid 14th centuries. | 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: | 1230
