Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite buckle frame of Medieval date. It is missing most of the oval or D-shaped frame, as well as the iron pin, due to old breaks. The bar end of the frame survives intact and is circular in section with integral cylindrical bar. Extending from the bar is an integrally cast forked spacer, each prong of which which is triangular in form and rectangular in section, the remains of a corroded iron pin just visible at the frame end. Both sides of the spacer have separately cast coper-alloy plates that are rectangular in form with concave attachment ends where there is a single central copper-alloy rivet with flattened round heads. The entire object measures 19.68mm in width, 36.44mm in length, 5.59mm in thickness, and weighs 8.74g.This is a composite buckle frame of Medieval date. Similar examples are noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 322-324) and are a typically English buckle form. The current example is of probable 14th-15th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
