Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Medieval buckle frame of Meols type 2. It is missing most of the buckle plate and the pin due to old breaks. The frame is D-shaped, circular in section, with offset and narrowed bar, slightly swollen outer edge and projecting knops at join of frame and bar. There is a moulded transverse oval shaped pin rest on the front face of the outer edge. A small, rectangular area of the separately cast copper-alloy plate survives intact, with one rectangular frame recess visible and one end folded around the bar, the remainder of the plate now missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 26.50mm in width at frame, 17.27mm in length (24.83mm including plate), 4.97mm in thickness at outer edge, and weighs 5.79g.This is a Medieval buckle frame similar to examples noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 277, 304) and dates to the 14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
