Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of Medieval date. It has one large oval shaped loop and one smaller rectangular loop, separated at the centre by a bar that is rectangular in form and section. The oval shaped loop is triangular in section with a slightly expanded outer edge that has a deeply incised rectangular pin rest. The bar has a central rectangular constriction around which hinges the separately cast copper-alloy pin. This is flat, rectangular in section and triangular in form, tapering to a sharp point at the outer edge of the oval loop. The entire buckle measures 22.55mm in width, 22.33mm in length, 3.55mm in thickness and 4.02g in weight. This is a complete cast copper-alloy buckle frame of later Medieval date. Near identical examples are noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: pp. 102-103, no. 472) and suggest a probable 15th century AD date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
