Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle dating from the medieval period. The surviving portion measures 33.8mm by 14.84mm by 2.5mm and weighs 3.94g. It comprises the wide outer edge of the D-shaped buckle and short lengths of the narrow sides. The rest of the buckle's frame and the pin are missing. The front of the frame is slightly convex and the back slightly concave. There are faint hints of decoration on the front of the buckle and there is a slight depression for the pin. Two buckles of similar shape and size can be seen in Marshall's 'Buckles Through the Ages' (part 5, nos. 44 and 45). Both examples have offset bars and both are decorated with simple engraved or punched geometric decoration. Marshall dates these examples to the 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
