Description: | A Medieval buckle and buckle plate has been made from copper alloy, the frame has been cast, the plate is more uncertain.
In plan the frame has a sub-rectangular frame. The strap bar is slightly narrowed in width and depth. The bar opposite has a sheet of copper alloy rolled around it forming a tube. This tube is a slightly different colour to the frame and plate. The side bars are undecorated and they have deeper sides than their width.
The plate is a sheet of copper alloy which has been folded to form a rectangular shape in plan. The fold is around the strap bar of the frame. The fold, in width, has been narrowed and a slot in the centre has been removed for the pin. However the pin no longer exists on the frame. The terminals of the plate has a single rivet hole in each plate. The lower plate rivet hole is still covered with a copper alloy rivet hole.
The frame has a corroded frame and plate.
The length of the frame and plate together is 38.4mm and is 12.2mm wide. The weight is 3.25g.
There is a similar shaped buckle frame in Egan and Pritchard, No. 436 which is dated to the late 14th century. | 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
