Description: | A cast lead-tin alloy (probably) annular buckle. The buckle frame is circular in plan. Integral to the exterior edge is a beaded border. The frame has a sub-triangular section. The reverse of the frame is flat except the strap bar. Bisecting the frame is a lozenge sectioned strap bar. The pin is iron wire, of which only a fragment remains. In profile the frame is flat. The surface of the frame has a mid grey patina. The frame measures 22.91mm diameter and weighs 4.1g.
Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate other annular buckles with strap bars, Nos. 221-259. No. 227 is illustrated and the recorded example is very similar to this in size, metal type, decoration and has an iron pin. It is suggested that they are shoe buckles which were used from the early 15th 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: | 1400
