Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame with incomplete folded sheet copper alloy buckle plate. The frame has a straight outer edge with a round cross section, and is probably missing its roller. From either end of the outer edge, the frame curves towards the narrow and off set strap bar. The buckle plate is sub-triangular, with recessed edges to accomodate the buckle frame. There is a central rectangular opening in the plate for the now missing pin. There is one copper alloy rivet at centre of the attachment end of the plate. The plate is damaged on one side around this rivet hole, with a worn break extending towards the attachment end. Both the buckle frame and the plate have a patchy mid to dark green patina, with the frame being slightly darker in colour. The surface of the frame and plate are slightly worn.
The frame is 28.68mm long, 18.38mm wide and 3.75mm thick. The plate is 20.93mm long, 23.20mm wide, 4.10mm thick around the strap bar and 5.03mm thick incorporating the attached rivet. The sheet copper alloy used for the plate is 0.59mm thick. | 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: | 1300
