Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle frame with central bar, dating to the Medieval period, between AD 1350 ? 1450 (length: 24mm; width: 24mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 3.6g). The inside loop, which is rectangular in plan and mostly triangular in side section, and the pin are all the remains of this buckle. Only a small fragment of the larger oval outside loop is visible. The central bar is narrowed in the centre for the slightly incomplete cast copper alloy pin (length: 16.5mm; width: 4mm), which is also suffering from bronze disease along most of its edge. The buckle frame is undecorated and it is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina. A similar example (although more complete) is illustrated in Egan, G & Pritchard, F, 2002 edition, 'Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3: Dress Accessories c. 1150 ? c. 1450?, pages 102-3, ref no 472. | 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
