Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date. The sheet copper-alloy plate and part of the pin survive intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The rectangular plate is formed from a single sheet of copper-alloy that is folded over to form an upper and lower plate of equal size. At the centre of the open end both plates have a single circular rivet hole. The plates have rectangular frame recesses and a large circular perforation at the frame end that served to enable the pin to hinge. The surviving fragment of the pin is flat, rectangular in form and folded around the inner edge of the plates. It terminates quickly in old breaks with most of the pin now missing. The entire object measures 25.98mm in width, 14.43mm in height, 4.53mm in thickness, and weighs 2.87g. It is similar to an example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 519) and probably dates to the 14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
