Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle with traces of rust in the pin slot suggesting that the pin was of iron: oval frame with an offset, narrowed bar, and a notch in the centre of the straight and arched outside edge, the ends of which project beyond the sides; rectangular plate with frame recesses, a pin slot, and an integral rivet near the inside edge. The plate is probably cast and folded. Such heavy-duty buckles with an integral rivet in the plate may have been used with harnesses. A typical example of such buckles has been recorded from Kenninghall, Norfolk (HER 31412, NMS-5BCFC7). Frame 23.5 x 27.3mm. Plate 38.5 x 16mm in both front and rear parts. Overall length 57mm. Diameter of integral rivet 5mm. Thickness of both parts of the plate 1 - 2mm. 13th - 14th century.Area 1 on annotated map in file | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
