Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy buckle now missing its pin. The buckle is of the double loop annular type and has moulded floral decoration. Specifically, it is an example of what Whitehead (1996, 46) terms a 'rose buckle'. Its five 'petals' are emphasised by incisions. The reverse of the buckle is flat. The artefact is worn with a green patina; there are no traces of the black lacquer often used to coat such buckles (Whitehead 1996, 46). Although rose buckles are often pentagonal, this buckle is of a more irregular five-sided arrangement and is similar to an example illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 47; ref. 274). The buckle dates to the late medieval or early post-medieval periods. | 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: | 1450
