Description: | Copper-alloy buckle, perhaps from a spur. The frame is incomplete, with just one side and a small section of the outer edge surviving. The integral plate has a circular pin hole close to the frame, and then two narrow transverse lobes which project slightly. A rivet hole with the remains of an iron rivet cuts through here. Beyond is an openwork trefoil terminal, with two large side foils each elongated into a drop shape. The central foil is more nearly circular, and contains a second iron rivet. The buckle is very slightly bent. This buckle is an unusual shape, and perhaps dates to the early post-medieval period. Similar small buckles with integral plates, thought to be spur buckles, are known from the medieval period. | 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: | 1500
