Description: | A copper-alloy buckle of possible medieval date. Only one parallel for this object is known (PAS record no. BH-534E54) and was found in the same parish as this example. A date of c. 1100 - 1500 is tentatively suggested.
The frame is sub-rectangular, has a protrusion on each corner and a protruding pin rest at the centre of the vertical outer edge. The upper surface of the frame is decorated with a repeating pattern of incised lines.
The plate is irregular in shape, has incised line decoration on its upper surface, and terminates at the top right and bottom right corners with a (now damaged) circular loop. The reverse of the plate is plain and clearly designed not to be seen. The plate is wrapped around the vertical right hand side of the frame and has a central pin slot from which emanates a tongue-shaped pin.
Overall, the object measures 35.8mm long by 28.5mm wide and 6.2mm thick. It weighs 7.6g. | 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: | 1100
