Description: | Late Medieval copper alloy 'locking' buckle, 40mm long and 33mm wide with a weight of 12.85 grams. The buckle is in fair condition with a pale green patina. It consists of a rectangular frame which has an off centre semi-circular protrusion, 6mm thick, which is drilled to take a wide pin bar. The bar itself is oval in form and much wider than the hole. It has an integral pointed pin attached to it. Protruding from the buckle, in line with the pin bar, is a rounded curving shaft which terminates in a spherical knop. It is bent around the buckle like a fish hook and probably held something such as a purse. The pin rest is integral and has a triangular form, so that from the front it appears rectangular and from below it tapers towards the upper edge of the buckle. | 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
