Description: | A worn and corroded copper-alloy single-looped oval buckle of probable medieval date. The object consits of a cast frame and part of the plate; the pin is missing. The frame features a pair of raised lobes (Th.: 8.15mm) around the pin rest flanked by skirts terminating in ridges. The pin bar is probably narrower and inset. What remains of the plate has a recessed terminal at the frame end and a pin slot; orange corrosion product near the slot suggests that the pin may have been of iron. The frame is corroded and has broken through on one of the side walls; the other is very weak. The plate has been bent round the pin bar such that it is around 180 degrees from its original position. On its original lower face there is a semicircular flap. The fragmentary main plate appears to be openwork with sub-triangular recesses. There is a rivet hole in the extant corner. The form of the buckle is similar to an example illustrated in Margeson (1993, 26; ref. 133). As the Norwich example came from a late 13th-century context a similar date is suggested for this artefact. | 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
