Description: | The object is an oval framed single looped buckle frame made from cast copper alloy. Egan and Pritchard illustrate a similar example, No. 274. These buckles date from the mid 12th century to 14th century.
The buckle is a sub-oval shape in plan. The strap bar is narrowed and off-set, the loop expands in with toward its apex. In section the loop is a triangle with the base forming the longest side and the vertical interior edge being the shortest edge. There is no notch for the pin on the loop, and the pin is missing. The surface of the buckle has red copper corrosion, but there are traces of gilding.
The buckle weighs 1.54g and measures 16.9mm long and 14mm 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: | 1150
