Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy oval framed buckle with an integral plate of probable Post Medieval date (AD 1600 ? AD 1700). The buckle is convex at the front and flat at the rear. It is bent and the pin is missing. Length 35mm, width of oval frame 14.5mm and 3.2mm thick. Weight 4.64g. The oval frame is 13mm in length and 14.5mm in width. The inner face of the frame is steeply bevelled. At the edge of the frame on either side, where it joins the integral plate, is a small projecting knop. One of the knops is larger than the other one. The plate is symmetrical in plan and is 22mm in length. If straightened the plate would be slightly longer. It consists of two distinctive parts. Close to the frame it has a swelling defined by two transverse grooves. This part has two small circular holes on the longitudinal centre-line, one to accommodate the missing pin and the other for a rivet which is also missing. The other part, the attachment end, is in the shape of a fleur de lys (in plan) and also has a circular hole for a rivet which is missing. The piece is in good condition and has a mid-green patina overall. Tiny traces of gilding survive on the front of the buckle. This buckle is probably for a spur strap. | 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: | 1600
