Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite buckle of Medieval date. It is missing both front and back plates, as well as the separately cast pin, due to old breaks but is otherwise intact. The frame is oval shaped in form, triangular in section, with a thickened outer edge that has a central triangulat pin rest with transverse pin groove. Extending from the bar end of the frame is the integrally cast forked spacer, which has two prongs that are triangular in form,, rectangular in section and taper to sharp points at the attachment end. At the bar end of the spacer is a rectangular slot through which the pin would have originally hinged. All surfaces of this buckle have extensive tool marks and a dark brown patina. It measures 23.82mm in width, 53.25mm in length, 4.07mm in thickness, and weighs 11.22g.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 |
