Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle frame with sheet plate of Medieval date. The frame is as Meol's type 4, oval shaped in form and rectangular in section with small projecting pin rest on the outer edge. It has an offset and narrowed circular bar with moulded ridges on the sides of the frame where the offset for the bar begins. The plate is formed from a single rectangular sheet of copper-alloy folded around the bar to form an upper and lower plate, the latter being narrower and shorter. This has rectangular frame recesses, a circular perforation at the bar where the now missing pin would have hinged, and a single central copper-alloy rivet at the attachment end that has flattened round heads. The entire object measures 18.95mm in height/length (at frame; 13.41mm at plate), 39.84mm in width including plate (18.07mm at frame), 3.10mm in thickness at frame, and weighs 3.84g. This buckle is of Medieval date, with parallels in terms of form noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 279-283) suggesting a 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
