Description: | A copper-alloy buckle frame of 11th-century date. The frame is roughly five-sided externally, with the sides meeting the bar at right angles and the outer edge pointed. The frame is D-shaped internally. The upper surface of the buckle frame is slightly convex, and is covered with 11 irregularly set ring-and-dot motifs. It has a single rounded decorative knop on each corner, apart from the corner at the centre of the outside edge which has three more pointed knops. The bar is circular in cross-section. The reverse of the buckle is flat and undecorated. It measures 28.3mm wide by 25.7mm high and 2.2mm thick, and weighs 6.12g.
Similar buckle frames can be seen on the PAS database at NMS-DF54C4 and NMS-E11876, and one from a 12th- to late 13th-century context in Norwich has been published (Margeson 1993, no.128). | 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: | 1000
