Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date. The bar and a small fragment of the sides of the frame, as well as the separately cast plate survive intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The frame has an offset and narrowed rectangular bar, the surviving fragment of on side preserving a single vertical rib but the precise form of the frame uncertain. Hinging around the bar is the separately cast plate, which is flat, rectangular in form and with a lower plate that is narrower and shorter than the upper. The plate has rectangular frame recesses and pin slot, with a single circular rivet hole at the centre of the attachment end. It is decorated on its front face with a border comprising a double band of punched opposing triangles. The entire object measures 25.90mm in length, 12.75mm in width, 4.82mm in thickness and 2.29g in weight. This buckle is of Medieval date, c.14th century AD (cf. Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 437 for the frame, nos. 502, 514, 533, 535 for the plate decoration). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
