Description |
English: An incomplete medieval to post medieval copper alloy buckle dating to the15th-early16th century. The buckle consists of a single kidney-shaped loop, formed of folded sheet copper. The plate consists of a separate piece of sheet copper that has been folded around the axial bar which connects the plate to the buckle. There is a notch removed from the plate to allow the pin to be folded around the axial bar. There are two rivet holes at the base of the plate to connect the plate to a strap, the rivets are no longer present.
The plate is decorated on one side, there is a moulded border consisting of beading along the longest edges and with the shorter edges raised to form a central panel. Engraved in the panel is a series of three letters AD[---] in wrigglework design, surrounded by a linear wrigglework border. The plate terminates in a series of six rounded protrusions. A parallel for the loop can be found in Whitehead (1996, nos. 120-1) with a similar plate also in Whitehead (ibid, no.224) though that example has the letters Ihs, to represent Jesus Christ. Similar examples can also be found on the PAS database: LVPL-7168B4 with many of the examples being decorated in the reverse style e.g. wrigglework background defining the lettering (WILT-CE72F8). Dimensions: total length: 36.07 mm; width of the plate: 27.12 mm; thickness of plate: 3.02 mm; diameter of loop: 30.11 mm; weight: 8.48g. Reference: Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles: 1250-1800. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing. |
