Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle. The buckle has a narrowed and off-set strap bar (which has broken and no longer survives in full).
The outer edge of the buckle is swollen and is slightly pointed. On one side the buckle has been decorated with incised parallel lines. A set of incised lines can be seen on the corners of the outer frame and on the pointed swelling. The reverse of the buckle is not decorated.
The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing.
The metal has lost some of its original surface and the metal is a light greyish-green colour and is pitted. This type of buckle dates from circa 1250 ? 1500. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p19. | 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: | 1250
