Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date. It is missing its pin due to old breaks. The buckle is as Meols type D with rectangular frame, narrowed bar, and sheet roller on the outer edge that is decorated with a series of short diagonal grooves. The plate is rectangular, formed from a single sheet folded to hinge around the bar and with slight rectangular frame recesses. On the upper plate there is incised decoration comprising two transverse grooves at the attachment end. At the centre of the attachment end is a single circular rivet hole with separately cast copper-alloy rivet that has flattend round heads. A corresponding circular aperture is present at the frame end of the plate and probably served as pin slot, with a fragment of the separately cast pin still visible within the aperture. The entire object measures 35.12mm in length, 14.32mm in width, 3.77mm in thickness and 3.32g in weight.This is an incomplete buckle frame of Medieval date similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 435, 440) and is of probable 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
