Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite buckle of Medieval date. It comprises an incomplete oval or D-shaped frame with integrally cast forked spacer, most of the frame now missing due to old breaks. The inner edge of the frame survives intact and has an offset and narrowed bar, with rectangular pin slot. At the open end of the forked spacer are two copper-alloy rivets that hold in place upper and lower sheet copper-alloy plates of identical size and shape. These are rectangular in form with concave inner edge and a circular aperture at the centre of the attachment end. On the upper plate there is a short transverse groove running from the circular aperture towards the frame. The entire object measures 18.63mm in surviving width at the frame, 15.84mm in width at plate, 32.37mm in surviving length, 4.31mm in thickness, and weighs 6.51g.This is a composite buckle of Medieval date similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 322-324). These are identified as a typically English form of buckle and date to the later Medieval period, c.14th-15th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
