Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Medieval date. Only the bar, part of the sides and the base of the pin survive intact, as well as the rectangular copper-alloy plate, the remainder of the buckle now missing due to old breaks. The frame has an offset and narrowed rectangular bar with projecting lobes at either end and a pin formed from a separately cast flat rectangular sheet of copper-alloy. The buckle plate is small, rectangular in form, with frame recesses and rectangular pin slot. The lower plate is narrower and shorter than the upper, but both have the remains of three evenly spaced rivet circular holes, the central one retaining a cylindrical copper-alloy rivet with dome-shaped head. On the front face of the upper plate there is a simple border of incised rocker decoration and the remains of gilding. This buckle measures 29.66mm in width (at frame; 26.73mm at upper plate), 20.24mm in length, 4.34mm in thickness, and weighs 4.79g. This buckle is of Medieval date, probably belonging in the 13th-14th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
