Description: | An incomplete and extremely worn cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date, probably a spur buckle. The integrally cast buckle plate survives intact, however the frame and the attachment end of the plate are missing due to old breaks. The plate is oval shaped in section and triangular in form, expanding towards the incoplete frame and tapering towards the attachment end. Two central circular apertures are visible close to the frame, one probably serving to enable the pin to hinge and the other as a rivet hole to allow attachment to a strap or belt. These two apertures are separated from the remainder of the plate by a moulded transverse ridge. Only the start of the shoulders of the frame survive intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. Ths object measures 10.38mm in width, 25.53mm in length, 2.92mm in thickness, and weighs 1.73g.This is probably a very worn and incomplete spur buckle similar to examples noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 320-321). It is of Medieval date, c.12th-15th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
