Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy oval buckle with a narrow, offset bar (length: 18mm; width: 20.8mm; thickness: 5.8mm; weight: 3.65g). A roller is still present in the centre of the outside edge with a groove which would have originally held the pin (now missing). The bar is very corroded and worn, but still complete. Overall, the buckle is badly worn and corroded with a dark brown patina, due to the artefact being probably coated in a substance. A similar example is illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London c.1150-c.1450', 1991, pages 68-70, ref no 270, which is dated between c. 1150-1200. | 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
