Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a central notched lip for the pin. The frame is flat underneath and bevelled on top and has been narrowed at the spacer for the tapered sheet pin. The spacer has a rectangular aperture next to the frame. Both of the prongs have their tips missing. The top and bottom surfaces of part of the spacer have been filed down to accomodate the missing buckle plates. The buckle frame and spacer have a dark green patina. The pin is light green. 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. Buckle frame dimensions - L.: 19.75mm, W.: 26.5mm, Th.: 2.3mm; Spacer dimensions - L.: 17mm, W.: 18.1mm, Th.: 4mm | 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
