Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date. It has an oval frame with offset and narrowed bar and expanded outer edge. At the centre of the outer edge the frame is consticted and has a sheet copper-alloy roller decorated with rocker decoration. Hinging around the bar is a separately cast copper-alloy buckle plate. This is rectangular in form with rectangular frame recesses and pin slot, and lower plate of equal length but narrower than the upper. There is a single circular rivet hole at the centre of the plate, with two further rivet holes at each corner of the attachment end, which is folded due to post-depositional damage. The front face of the plate has an incised rocker decorated border and traces of gilding. The pin is missing due to old breaks. It measures 21.23mm in width, 44.96mm in length including plate, 2.40mm in thickness, and 7.92g in weight.This buckle is of Medieval date similar to an example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 270). It is of probable 13th to 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
