Description: | Cast copper alloy oval buckle frame of Medieval date, probably c. AD 1350 ? c. AD 1400. Length 19.6mm, width 20mm and 4mm thick. Weight 3.26g. The outside edge of the frame has two rounded knops that form a constriction for a copper alloy crudely grooved sheet roller. The width of the roller is about 8mm and it appears to be fused to the frame within the constriction. There is a seam on the underside of the roller. The sides of the frame are sub-oval in cross-section. The off-set bar is 14 mm in length and sub-rectangular in cross-section. Mid-way along the bar, at the centre, there is a slight constriction formed by the pin loop making contact at this point. The pin is missing. An olive green patina covers most of the surface of the roller and small areas of the same coloured patina survive on the frame. The piece has active bronze disease. | 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
