Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite buckle frame of Medieval date. Less than half 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 and integrally cast forked spacer. The forked spacer tapers to a sharp point, with the remains of an offset and narrowed bar and rectangular pin slot at the frame end. The entire object measures 9.74mm in surviving width, 31.03mm in surviving length, 3.13mm in thickness, and weighs 1.77g.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 |
