| Title |
A single view of a Medieval buckle. |
||
| Description |
English: The object is a D-shaped buckle frame with an integral spacer. Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval Finds From Norwich Survey, Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology 58) illustrates a similar example, No. 137 and dates this to the 14th century. However the spacer on the Norwich example, in profile has a double arm, whereas the recorded example, in profile has a single arm. The frame is made from cast copper alloy. The frame is a D-shape in plan with a slightly pointed apex on the exterior edge. This point forms the notch. The frame is obliquely angled, whereas the underside is flat. Integral to the strap bar is a forked spacer. There are two arms to the spacer, which have straight and parallel exterior edges. The interior edge of each arm is stepped once, forming an ‘n’ shape within which the pin would be positioned. The spacer arms taper slightly. The upper and lower edge of the spacer are slightly stepped which would allow the buckle plates to sit flush with the frame. These stepped areas are discoloured, suggested the plates parted with the frame and spacer relatively recently. Both arms are incomplete and the breaks are not recent, but do not have the patina covering them. The surface of the buckle frame is has a dark grey patina.The buckle and spacers measures 26.28mm long and 16.66mm wide. It weighs 1.6g. |
