Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped clasp fastener buckle.
The buckle is rectangular in shape, with two straight edges and two rounded edges. The rounded edges terminate with rounded projecting knops. One of the straight edges is a narrowed and off-set strap bar.
The frame is uninterrupted. The rest of the clasp fitting is missing.
The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a dark greyish-green colour and is pitted.
This type of buckle dates from circa 1300 ? 1450. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, p40-1. | 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
