Description: | A copper-alloy buckle of uncertain date. Although this piece has certain similarities with the single-loop buckle series of the medieval period, its form is slightly unusual. A buckle of similar shape was found in Bedfordshire (see PAS record no. BH-82CF20) and was thought to possibly be related to the so-called "Soldiers and settlers" material of the late 4th to early 5th century AD (see S.C. Hawkes and G.C. Dunning; 1961).
The frame is roughly D-shaped but has a pointed pin rest at the centre of the outer edge and four pointed lobes - one at each end of the exis bar, the other two at the ends of the curved outer edge. The axis bar, which is of circular section, has attached iron corrosion from the now-missing pin.
The object measures 25.3mm long by 20.3mm wide and 3.3mm thick; it weighs 3.58g. | 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: | 375
