Description: | A cast copper-alloy composite buckle frame of Medieval date. It has an oval shaped frame that is triangular in section with a small triangular pin rest at the centre of the outer edge, and integrally cast forked spacer. On each side of the spacer is a separately cast copper-alloy rectangular plate with concave attachment end, all held together by single central rivets with flattened round heads at the frame and attachment ends. At the frame end is a short rectangular slot from which hinges a copper-alloy wire pin that is missing its tip due to old breaks. The entire object measures 19.11mm in width, 41.40mm in length, 4.42mm in thickness and 6.51g in weight. This is a composite buckle of typical English manufacture and with close parallels noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 322-324). It is of 14th to 15th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
