Description: | A cast copper alloy single loop buckle of medieval date. The buckle measures 20.82mm by 18.05mm by 2.88mm and weighs 2.87g. The buckle frame is rectangular with slightly convex sides which have tiny knops towards each end. The ornate outer edge consists of four filed horizontal lines and a central horizontal groove which would have functioned as a notch for the pin. The strap bar is offset and narrowed and the pin is missing. The back of the buckle is flat and undecorated. A similar buckle with a plate can be seen in Egan and Pritchard's 'Medieval Dress Accessories' (1991, pp. 96-7, no. 438). This buckle probably dates from the late twelfth to the late 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: | 1150
