Description: | The object is an incomplete buckle. Margeson illustrates a similar buckle (No. 137) which is dated to the 14th century. It is made from cast copper alloy.
In plan the buckle is a d-shaped buckle frame, however the off-set strap bar is missing. The breaks of the strap bars are not recent, and appear to be due to corrosion. The buckle is heavily abraded and has lost its original surface. The buckle loop expands towards the apex. The loop is also obliquely angled in profile.
The buckle measures 26.5mm long and 19.35mm wide. It weighs 1.5g. | 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
