Description: | Cast copper alloy buckle and buckle plate with a round frame and central pin bar. One outside edge of the frame has a knop, possibly in the form of a crude zoomorphic head. On the opposite side of the frame there is a flat fantail embellishment protruding over the buckle plate with an incised herringbone/chevron decoration. The frame was cast in one piece. The buckle plate is cut from a single copper-alloy sheet and has a double incised line border decoration approximately 1mm from the edge, the back is undecorated. The plate is notched to take the pin (which is missing) and turned down at the back then secured with a dome headed rivet and rove. The end of the buckle plate has two dome headed rivets to attach it to a strap or belt. This is an unusual buckle, a similar parallel for the frame can be seen in Egan's 'Dress Accessories', page 61 no.212 and is dated to c.1350-1400, although this example does not have a central pin bar. | 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: | 1350
