Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite buckle frame of Medieval date. Three quarters of the frame and part of one forked spacer survive intact, the remainder of the buckle now missing due to old breaks. It comprises an incomplete oval or D-shaped frame with projecting triangular pin rest and integrally cast forked spacer. Only a short length of one forked spacer survives intact, with the remains of an offset and narrowed bar and rectangular pin slot. The entire object measures 29.48mm in surviving width, 29.28mm in surviving length, 3.78mm in thickness, and weighs 3.63g.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 |
