Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Medieval date. It is as Meols type 2 with D-shaped frame and offset and narrowed bar. The outer edge is slightly expanded and has two incised diagonal pin rests at the centre of outs front face. The pin is missing due to old breaks but hinging around the bar is an incomplete and separately cast copper-alloy buckle plate that is rectangular in form with rectangular frame recesses and pin slot. This is decorated on its front face with an incised border and a single central rivet hole containing a separately cast rivet with globular head is visible at the old breaks. The front faces of both the plate and frame preserve traces of gilding but both are extremely worn. The entire object measures 19.45mm in width, 21.21mm in length, 2.38mm in thickness at 2.26g in weight. This buckle frame is similar to an example published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 303) and is of Medieval date, c.14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
