Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date. It is as Meols type 2, with D-shaped frame that has an offset and narrowed bar and expanded outer edge. Hinging around the bar is a separately cast coper-alloy pin that is triangular in form and tapers to a sharp point. A separately cast copper-alloy buckle plate also hinges around the bar. This is semi-circular (shield shaped) in form with rectangular frame recesses and pin slot, and small rectangular back plate. At the bar end of the plate are two rivet holes containing separately cast copper-alloy rivets, with a third similar rivet at the centre of the attachment end. The rivet at the attachment end has a separate copper-alloy rove. On the front face of the plate are traces of gilding and a possible border of rocker decoration, but this is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 24.26mm in width, 32.07mm in length, 5.17mm in thickness, and 5.71g in weight. This buckle is of Medieval date, c.13th-14th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
