Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy locking buckle of Medieval date. It is missing the end of the locking bar due to old breaks. The frame is rectangular in form with expanded outer edge that has an underside set at an angle of 45 degrees, a v-shaped flange on the exterior edge, and a faceted upper edge with central grooved pin rest. The sides of the frame expand to circular apertures through which the separately cast bar passes. This is oval sectioned with a projecting triangular pin and curving arm that probably originally had a U-shaped profile but is now incomplete due to old breaks. The entire object has extremely worn and corroded surfaces. It measures 31.74mm in length, 31.34mm in width (including arm, 17.59mm at frame), 6.38mm in thickness and 9.65g in weight. This is an incomplete locking buckle of Medieval date, with parallels noted in Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 139) and London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 445). These indicate a date in the 14th or 15th centuries AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
