Description: | Medieval copper-alloy buckle. Single-looped buckle probably dating from the mid 13th to early 15th C. The object is intact but slightly bent and damaged. The two plates are made in one piece and are folded around the axis bar to form the body of the buckle. Unusually, the upper plate is larger than the lower one. The upper plate measures 27mm long by 9.1mm wide and 0.5mm thick. The lower plate measures just 21.9mm long by 6.5mm wide. The loop is D-shaped and is 14.4mm high by 13mm wide, with a slightly convex upper surface and flat underside. The pin is made of a copper-alloy wire 0.8mm in diameter. It is attached by passing through a pin hole in the plate and wrapping once around the axis bar. It extends as far as the outer edge of the buckle. There are traces of silvering on the loop and on both plates. The overall dimensions are 36.9mm long by 14.4mm high and up to 4.5mm thick. The weight is 3.09g. | 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
