Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval buckle with integral plate. The single loop buckle frame is incomplete, with worn breaks at both ends. The integral plate is rectangular with a narrow, flat bar with a damaged semi-circular terminal extending from the end opposite the buckle frame. A partial tongue is attached to the plate, which has been hooked through a circular hole in the plate. There is a small circular rivet hole in the centre of the plate, with no trace of the rivet. The upper surface is decorated with two transverse lines, one either side of the rivet hole. The zones to either side of this are decorated with three linear arches with an incised pellet below. The design on the plate is not symmetrical. The reverse of the plate is plain and undecorated. The edges of the plate are worn, and there is a worn break across one corner. The artefact is dull black-brown with small patches of mid green. The buckle is 40.44mm in length excluding pin, has a maximum width of 17.71mm and a maximum thickness of 2.24mm. It weighs 4.1g. | 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: | 1200
