Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy buckle with an integral hollow plate, only the plate and a fragment of the bar fragment of the frame of this buckle now survive. The plate is rectangular in shape and measures 22mm in length and 19mm in width. On the front face of the plate there are faintly visible longitudinal grooves there are also two trnasverse mouldings where the plate meets the frame. The back face of the hollow plate appears to be riveted onto the cast front face, toe rivet holes can also be seen at the open end of the plate. There is a circular pin hole, c4mm in diameter. Not enough survives of the frame to know what shape it was, it is however most likely tohave been oval in shape.
Similar buckles have been discovered in London, they date to the 15th century (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 104-105, fig 66). | 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: | 1400
