Description: | Complete copper alloy medieval buckle. This buckle has a plain circular frame, equal in thickness, now split at one point on its circumference. The frame has a diameter of 37.98mm and is 4.06mm thick. It has an even dark green patina with small patches of brighter green corrosion. The buckle pin is intact, simply looped over the frame. The pin shaft is subcircular in section and terminates in a bevelled tip. On the upper side of the pin, just after the loop, is a transverse ridge. The pin is more abraded than the frame. It has a mid green patina with greater areas of bright green corrosion. The pin is 40.24mm long and 3.4mm thick. The entire object weighs 14.67g. Buckles of this type date to the late 14th century. Examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, figure 36. | 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: | 1375
