Description: | A copper-alloy buckle plate and pin. The pin bar of the buckle frame remains, located in the frame recess and the copper-alloy pin is attached to this and still hinges in the pin slot. The buckle plate is comprised of a sheet of metal folded over, with three rivet holes - two adjacent to one another below the pin slot, and the third below and in between the upper two. The rivets are still attached. As the frame is broken and it's diagnostic features are missing dating the artefact with any accuracy is difficult, other than giving it a broad medieval date and it probably dates from circa 1250 to circa 1450. The frame would certainly have been single looped, but may have been oval or rectangular in shape. Similar plates and pins are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 77; figs 314-319). | 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: | 1250
