Description: | The object is a single looped buckle. In plan, the buckle is a sub-oval shape with a narrowed, off-set strap bar. The loop expands in width towards the apex of the loop. At the apex there is a protruding rectangular notch. Either side of the notch there is a fine groove as decoration. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The strap bar is circular in section, and is worn in the centre. The pin is missing. The buckle frame has a dark grey patina. The buckle measures 32.54mm long and 41.62mm wide. It weighs 10.5g. It is made from cast copper.
A similar decorated example is recorded in Egan and Pritchard (1991: Dress Accessories c1150-1450) No. 283 which dates to the early 15th century. | 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: | 1400
