Description: | An oval buckle with a lipped frame, made of cast copper alloy. It is a sub-oval and is rectangular in section. On the exterior edge at the apex of the loop is a lip with a notch for the pin. The strap bar is narrowed and off-set, with a fragment of the buckle plate remaining curled around the strap bar. The buckle plate is made from a sheet of copper alloy and has a central slot for the pin. In this slot and on the apex of the loop are traces of iron, suggesting the pin was originally iron, but does not exist now. The surface of the buckle has a mid green patina with traces of a white alloy coating. It weighs 2.13g, and measures 18.61mm from the notch to the strap bar and 17.22mm wide.
In Egan and Pritchard (Egan G. and Pritchard F. 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) buckles numbered 307 to 310 are very similar and date to the mid 13th to 14th centuries. | 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: | 1330
