Description: | Incomplete copper alloy, medieval composite buckle. The buckle frame is oval in plan, bevelled with a pointed lip with pin notch. The pin bar is narrowed. Nothing remains of the pin. Extending from either side of the pin bar are two subrectangular knops, which are all that remains of the forked spacers. The breaks on these spacers are worn smooth, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. There are no remains of the rigid plates that would have completed the composite form of the buckle. The object has a dark brown patina with patches of orangey brown corrosion product. It has a total length of 28.58mm, is 27mm wide and weighs 6.55g. a close, though more complete, parallel can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, figure 48, number 324. Buckles of this type date from the mid 14th to early 15th 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
