Record ID: WILT-F24DA5
Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy cast single-looped rectangular medieval buckle frame with five transverse grooves on the outer edge, the central of which acts as a pin rest, and a narrowed and offset bar; the pin is missing. The external side of the outer edge is angled; the frame is otherwise flat. There are slight hollows on the bar suggesting that it might once have been attached to a twin-hinged plate. The buckle is 13.45mm in length, 11.5mm wide, 2.05mm thick and weighs 0.81 grams. Similar buckles have been found in contexts of c. 1350-1400 in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 96; fig. 61).
