Description: | The forked spacer plate from an incomplete medieval cast copper-alloy composite buckle. It features a plain D-shaped frame with a pointed moulded lip rather than a pin notch. In section the frame is the shape of a right angled triangle with rounded corners; the reverse is flat. There is a notch in the frame which holds the extant pin. The pin is cast and is of triangular, flanged shape. The forker spacer continues for 27.2mm. Each prong has been bent out of alignment; one has been broken after 24mm. This latter has been bent upwards and round. The plates have been lost. Such buckles date from the second half of the fourteenth 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: | 1350
