Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped oval buckle. Only one complete loop and the pin remain. Fragments of the second loop remain, but the breaks are possibly recent. The complete loop is a ?D? shape in plan, with a narrowed strap bar. The loop expands in width slightly towards the loops apex. The pin is an elongated triangle which is curled around the strap bar. The surface of the pin and frame is abraded and is covered with red copper corrosion. The buckle measures 21.94mm long and 23.85mm wide. It weighs 2.8g.
Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) date a similar buckle (No. 333) to the late 14th century. However, Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58) dates a similar buckle (No. 164) to the early 17th century. As the design is quite simplistic the buckle could be dated to the late 14th to early 17th 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: | 1375
