Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late Medieval to Post-Medieval date. One of the loops is incomplete and the end of the pin is missing due to old breaks. The surviving loop is D-shaped in form, oval shaped in section, with projecting, grooved triangular pin rest at the centre of the outer edge. The buckle has an integrally cast, narrowed cylindrial bar separating the two loops, with small projecting knops to either side. Part of the separately cast copper-alloy pin survives intact. This is flat, rectangular in form, with one end folded around the bar. The pin has a raised rectangular grip with three transverse grooves. The entire object measures 22.85mm in width, 28.71mm in surviving length, 5.19mm in thickness, and weighs 5.34g.This buckle frame is similar to later Medieval examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 375, 386), as well as early Post-Medieval examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 167-170). This suggests a date in the 14th-17th centuries AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
