Description: | A small plain, double-looped oval buckle, cast in copper alloy. The buckle measures 23.27mm in length, 18.64mm in width and is 2.61mm thick. It weighs 2.87g. The front of the buckle is slightly rounded, with a more steeply sloping inside edge. The back of the buckle is flat. Although the buckle is quite worn, at least one of the loops was possibly formerly slightly angled. Part way along the central bar is a lump of iron corrosion, which may be all that is left of an iron pin. This simple style of buckle was used right through the Middle Ages and into the post-medieval period, so it is not possible to give it a more precise date (Cuddeford 1996, p. 20). | 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
