Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of suggested mid 14th to mid 15th century AD date (R. Whitehead; 1996; pp.21).
The frame is roughly D-shaped and has a pointed pin rest, with pin slot, at the centre of the outer edge. The axis bar is offset and of circular section. The plate is bent around the frame and is rectangular in shape. The reverse side is significantly smaller then the upper side. The two sides of the plate were originally held together by a single rivet, the two holes for which are located centrally, close to the right hand vertical edge. At the centre of the frame end is a circular hole, which would have been the point at which the now-missing pin would have been attached.
The object measures 31.5mm long, 21.4mm wide and 4.5mm thick. It weighs 3.52g. | 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
