Description: | A cast copper double looped oval shaped buckle. Only one loop is complete and this is undecorated, but the outer edge is obliquely angled. The loop expands slightly in width towards the apex. The apex the loop has a notch. The reverse is undecorated. The strap bar is narrowed, and is semi-circular in section. The pin is missing. In profile the buckle is slightly angled forming a wide ?V? shape. The buckle loop has traces of a dark green patina, but the surface is generally abraded. The buckle measures 18.58mm long and 17.04mm wide. It weighs 1.7g.
Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) date a similar shaped buckle (No. 380) to the late 13th to 14th century. Due to the size of the frame Egan and Pritchard (2002) comment that these buckle were probably produced for a specialised function, but what this function is, is unknown. | 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: | 1275
