Description: | Incomplete copper alloy medieval buckle with oval frame and a recessed buckle plate. The oval frame is incomplete and missing its front portion, so it is impossible to tell what form this may have taken, either plain or ornate. The pin bar is narrowed and offset. The pin survives and is simply curled around the pin bar. It has a flanged transverse ridge. The separate buckle plate is recessed and curled around the pin bar. It is held at the opposite end by two surviving copper alloy rivets. It is plain to front and rear. The rear plate is fractionally narrower than the front. The frame and plate are abraded and now has a mid green dull patina. The buckle frame is 10.92mm long, 20.82mm wide and 2.7mm thick. The plate is 32.56mm long and 16.8mm wide. The buckle weighs 7.50g. It dates from the mid 14th to mid 15th century. Buckles with plates can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories. | 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
