Description: | The object is an oval shaped buckle frame with an integral forked spacer, made of cast copper alloy. Egan and Pritchard comment that these types of buckle were popular in the mid 14th to early 15th centuries.
The frame is a sub-oval shape, and is beveled in profile. There is a protruding triangular notch at the apex of the loop. The strap bar is off-set and constricted for the pin. The reverse of the frame is flat. The integral forked spacer is formed by two symmetrical arms which taper. However both are broken after a short length. The pin is missing.
The surface of the buckle has a corroded surface. It weighs 2.49g, and measures 25.2mm long, and 18.9mm wide. | 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
