Description: | Medieval composite buckle. The cast copper alloy oval frame has a projecting triangular lip with a slight recess which acts as a pin rest. The bar is recessed for the folded copper alloy pin. The pin has a rectangular cross section. There is an integrally cast forked spacer attached to the frame. The stepped spacers have a rectangular cross section. Both the front and back plates are attached. The sub-rectangular sheet copper alloy plates have a curved edge at the attachment end. There are two copper alloy rivets at the attachment end, holding the plates together. There is a larger circular hole between the rivets, which has a worn break through to the attachment end. The buckle frame and spacers have a dull green-grey patina, while the plates are dull brown with patches of lighter green corrosion. The total length is 49.31mm, with a maximum width of 23.15mm and thickness of 5.39mm. Weight 10.12 grams. | 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
