Description: | Copper-alloy buckle plate with fragment of buckle frame and pin surviving. The buckle plate is rectangular, 34 mm long and 11 mm wide, and is formed from a strip of copper-alloy. The plate has been folded with a gap for the buckle frame, and a slot for the pin to protrude. It also has frame recesses at either corner. The lower corner has been damaged and is bent over. The plate was attached with three rivets, one in the centre near the folded end which is attached to the folded strip underneath, and the other two vertically parallel at the other end. A fragment of the pin bar remains in the space created for it in the fold of the metal. A tiny fragment of the pin remains, wrapped around the pin bar at the slot created for it in the plate. The item bears no evidence of decoration. It is similar to an example given by Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 75; no 304) which is dated to between 1150 and 1260. | 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: | 1150
