Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy medieval buckle. The buckle is rectangular in plan. To the front edge it is thickened and has a single grooved notch for the pin. The remaining sides of the frame are of equal thickness and the pin bar is only slightly recessed. The reverse of the buckle is plain. The pin is entirely missing, as is the plate that would have completed the buckle. The object has a dark green patina but is worn and pitted, with exposed areas showing as light green. It is 14.06mm long, 11.86mm wide, 3.16mm thick and weighs 1.25g. Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress accessories, London: HMSO, illustrate similar buckles (with plates) in figure 61. Following those examples, the buckle recorded here is 14th-15th century in date. | 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
