Description: | Medieval copper alloy oval buckle frame with ornate outside edge, complete with pin and plate.
The buckle frame itself measures 18.7x17.7mm (internal 9.2x13mm) and has a double-ridged moulding either side of a triangular outer edge (Cf Egan 1991 no.300, though the outside edge is rather less pointed on this example). There is a notch for the pin. The frame is at its thickest here, 3.1mm.
The pin is plain and D-shaped in section. It is widest just after it curls around the axis bar (3.1mm) and narrows over 19.4mm to the point (1.7mm wide).
The buckle plate is sheet copper alloy and 23.3mm in length (and slightly bent). It is 10mm wide. On the front plate a rivet is in situ at the end opposite to the frame.
A smaller backplate 7.9mm wide extends 18mm to a recent-ish break, though it probably would not have been much longer.
Complete length c.37mm. Weighs 3.58g.
Probably 14th century in date. | 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: | 1301
