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, at the centre of which is a semi-circular notch with central groove. The plates are held together by two circular rivets with flattened round heads positioned at each corner of the attachment end. At the frame end is a short rectangular pin slot, missing its pin due to old breaks. The entire object measures 29.40mm in width, 57.72mm in length, 4.60mm in thickness and 17.33g 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 |
