Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The frame is oval with a slighly off-centre triangular, bevelled lip for the missing pin. The frame is flat underneath and bevelled on top except where it meets the spacer. The spacer is short and one of the prongs is missing its tip. It has a rounded aperture next to the frame. The top and bottom surfaces of part of the spacer have been removed slightly to accomodate the missing buckle plates. White-metal plating or solder can be seen on both surfaces of the spacer. Similar examples of this buckle type can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 78-82) where they are dated to the mid 14th/early 15th century. Frame dimensions - L.: 19mm, W.: 21.25mm, Th.: 1.5mm; Spacer dimensions - L.: 12.5mm, W.: 12.1mm, Th.: 2mm | 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
