Description: | Copper-alloy buckle of medieval date. An oval framed buckle with integral plate, probably dating from the mid 13th to early 15th C. AD. The object has an oval loop measuring 18.8mm long by 15mm wide and decorated around its outside with a repeating pattern of moulded knobs. There is a single circular hole within the loop of the buckle (at the axis bar end), which would originally have held the pin. The plate has slightly convex sides and narrows in width from 6.9mm adjacent to the loop, to 5.2mm at the point where it meets a decorative trefoil terminal. At the centre of this trefoil is a small iron rivet. The buckle plate is bent, probably as a result of post-depositional processes. The surfaces are slightly corroded. Overall, it measures 37.8mm long by 15mm wide and 2.3mm thick, and weighs 5.49g. | 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: | 1250
