Description: | Incomplete, cast copper alloy buckle with integral plate. The buckle frame is subcircular in plan with a pointed, grooved knop to the front that acts as the pin rest. The frame is D shaped in section, having a flat inner edge and domed outer edge. The integral plate is rectangular. It has a wedge shaped profile, as it tapers away from the frame. There are two holes in the plate, the first to hold the pin and the second for riveting the buckle to the leather. Both pin and rivet are missing. The original surface is missing and the buckle now has an abraded surface that is mid green in colour. A tiny fragment of gilt is visible at the edge of the pinhole. The buckle is 35.42mm long, of which 17.2mm is the integral plate, it is 17.72mm wide across the frame and weighs 6.05g. Egan and Pritchard illustrate similar buckles in Dress Accessories, figure 68. They suggest that this type of buckle may have been used with spurs. They date from the 13th-14th century. | 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: | 1200
