Description: | Nine copper-alloy buckle frames of Medieval date with a combined total weight of 42.37g.1) An asymmetrical double looped buckle frame with one large oval shaped loop on the outer edge separated by an integrally cast bar from a smaller rectangular frame. There is a slight constriction around the centre of the bar, which holds in place an incomplete copper-alloy wire pin that is square in section. It measures 25.26mm in height, 22.58mm in width, 5.06g in weight and dates to the 15th century AD (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 472).2) A large trapezoidal buckle frame with flat front and back faces and rectangular section. The integral bar is bent, presumably where the now missing pin would have hinged, and has small square knops where the bar joins the frame. The exterior corners of the frame have projecting semi-circular knops and there is a pointed-oval shaped moulded and projecting pin rest with incised central groove on the flaring exterior surfaces of the frame. It measures 44.25mm in height, 25.92mm in width, weighs 9.47g and probably dates to the 15th century AD. 3) Two oval frames with flaring outer edges, integrally cast bars and projecting knops at juncture of bar and frame, as Meols type 2. The first measures 30.15mm in height, 16.92mm in width, 6.40g in weight and has a moulded projecting pin rest with centrally incised V-shaped groove and a flat triangular copper-alloy pin. The second measures 26.14mm in height, 15.91mm in width, weighs 3g and has the remains of an incomplete flat copper-alloy pin. These buckles date to the 14th century AD.4) An oval shaped buckle frame of Meols type 9, with offset bar, projecting knops and a flaring outer edge with central, projecting pin rest that is flanked by pairs of projecting knops. It measures 21.66mm in height, 16.81mm in width, 2.45g in weight, and dates to the 14th century AD.5) A D-shaped buckle frame of Meols type 4, with offset bar that has a slight constriction where the now missing pin would have hinged, and projecting, pointed pin rest with centrally incised groove. It measures 19.51mm in height, 16.90mm in width, 1.36g in weight, and dates to the 14th century AD. 6) An oval shaped frame of Meols type 10, with offset and narrowed bar and flaring outer edge that comprises projecting globular knops at top and bottom with four transverse grooves between them. It measures 16.61mm in height, 16.21mm in width, 2.33g in weight, and dates to the 14th century AD. 7) A composite buckle frame with oval shaped frame that has a projecting pointed pin rest on the outer edge and integrally cast forked spacer. The spacer has flat copper-alloy plates on top and bottom faces that are joined together by small cylindrical rivets at top and bottom of the inner edge, between which is a round, grooved aperture. The frame preserves the buckle pin, which is flat, triangular in form and with a projecting collar close to the bar. The entire object measures 16.92mm in height, 28.80mm in width, 3.53g in weight, and dates to the 14th century AD (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 322-330, pp. 78-82). 8) A rectangular buckle frame with rectangular buckle plate. The frame is rectangular in form as Meols type C, with offset and narrowed bar, small projections on the upper and lower edges, an expanded outer edge with centrally incised pin groove flanked by single grooves at top and bottom of the outer edge and V-shaped incision on the back face of the outer edge. The separately made copper-alloy plate is formed from a single rectangular sheet that is folded around the bar and has rectangular frame recesses and a small rectangular pin slot. A single circular rivet hole is visible at the concave inner edge of upper and lower plates, but it is otherwise undecorated. It measures 46.54mm in width, 17.65mm in height, 8.77g in weight, and dates to the 14th century AD (as Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 438). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
