Description: | A complete copper-alloy oval shaped buckle frame, in situ copper-alloy pin and folded buckle plate. This buckle is medieval and circa 14th century in date. It measures 51mm in total length and c23mm in width at its widest point across the buckle frame.
The frame has a thickened outer edge with a lip with a central transverse groove for the pin tip. There are also opposing transverse vertical mouldings either side of this. The bar is narrowed and offset and the pin is attached via an open loop, it tapers towards its tip.
The plate is rectangular in shape, is recessed to accomodate the frame and has a rectangular pin slot, it is folded over the bar. It has two circular parallel rivet holes through its attachment end and the front face is decorated with a probable lion in relief. This lion or big cat is shown in side profile facing left, it has a small head with pricked up ears, a wide muscular chest and narrow body, the legs appear to be tucked under the body so it appears to be lying down, the tail is long raised above the hind quarters and terminates in a oval shaped tuft of fur. | 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
