Description: | Folded sheet plate, and part of the frame (broken) of a mediaeval copper alloy buckle. The plate, folded double, is 25mm in length and 19mm wide. at the fold it is recessed at either side to admit the shoulders of the frame at either end of the in-bar, and in the centre of the pin-bar there is a rectangular slot to admit the pin itself, part of which is still present and consists of a metal sheet rolled around the pin, 3.5mm wide and c.0.5mm thick. The sheet is plain, having two rivet-holes front and back at the trailing edge, for fastening it to its strap. The trailing edge of the front side is cut away or concave. The one surviving offset of the buckle frame itself shows that it was 2mm broad but 3mm thick (front to back), so that the metal was edge-on when viewed frontally. | 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: | 1200
