Description: | Complete copper alloy medieval ornate buckle. The frame of the buckle is oval in plan with a semicircular section. The pin bar is offset and narrowed. The pin is missing. To the front of the frame is a rectangular knop with rounded globular ends (still flat in section). Between the globular ends, the rectangular knop has three transverse grooved lines to the middle its upper face. The reverse of the buckle is flat and plain. The buckle is abraded but most of the original surface survives with a dark green patina. The buckle is 16.4mm long, 18.3m wide, 2.06mm thick at the knops and weighs 1.36g. Buckles of this type date from the late 12th to 14th centuries. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, figure 46. | 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: | 1150
