Description: | Medieval Buckle with frame of unusual form: rectangular sheet with bar as a separate roller, one side missing. Slightly trapezoidal sheet plate with pin hole, containing remains of iron pin, and frame recesses. The plate is secured near the attachment edge by copper alloy wire wound five times through two axially placed perforations. This is clearly a repair and one of the holes must have been for a rivet. The frame?s construction is similar to that of composite folding strap clasps (e.g. Dress Access. no.565, but with the bar, rather than the outside edge, as a roller. Frame 16mm x 13mm. Plate 37mm x 12mm (9.5mm at attachment edge). 14th 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: | 1300
