Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Medieval date. It is missing one side of the frame, bar and pin due to old breaks. The frame is D-shaped in form with incomplete offset and narrowed bar that has projecting knops where it joins the frame. The shoulders of the frame extend to an expanded rectangular outer edge with slight globular projections on each end. The fornt face of the outer edge has worn moulded and gilded decoration comprising a central transverse pin rest flanked by symmetrical curvilinear floral or foliate motifs of uncertain form due to the preservation of the buckle. The back face is flat and undecorated. It measures 50.70mm in surviving width, 36.69mm in length, 2.15mm in thickness and 7.66g in weight.Similar Medieval buckles are noted from Norwich (Ayers, 1985: fig. 24, no. 7) and on the PAS database (for example SF-8A53A8, SF-EA6296, SF-15C107, SF-3868F6 or HAMP-CB6317). These indicate a probable date in the 12th-14th centuries AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
