Description: | Incomplete copper alloy medieval ornate buckle. The frame of the buckle is oval in plan with a semicircular section. To the front of the frame are four integral knops. The reverse of the buckle is flat and plain. The frame is broken to one side, with approximately one half-missing. The buckle is abraded but most of the original surface survives with a dark green patina. There are small patches of lighter green where the surface is damaged. The break edges are worn smooth suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The buckle is 17.78mm long, 18.72m wide, 3.28mm thick at the knops and weighs 2.13g. Buckles of this type date from the late 12th to 14th centuries. A similar buckle can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, figure 46, number 318. | 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: | 1175
