Description: | Incomplete copper alloy buckle, probably medieval. This buckle frame is trapezoidal in plan. The two sidebars of the frame are rectangular in section. Placed approximately one third along each arm is an integral semicircular flange with a circular perforation, presumably so that a bar could be fixed between the two opposing sides of the frame. The front bar of the frame is flattened and decorated with six transverse grooves. The back bar is similarly flattened but undecorated. The reverse of the buckle is plain. The pin is missing. The object has a dark brown patina. It is 23.16mm long, 24.02mm wide and weighs 4.30g. Though no parallel could be found, this buckle is similar in form to medieval locking buckles, though it is missing the rebate on the outer edge for the locking arm. It is probably 14th or 15th century in date. | 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: | 1300
