Description: | Copper-alloy spur buckle. The frame is oval, with a projecting grooved pin rest. At the tapered junction between the frame and the plate is a circular pin hole. The plate is narrow, with a transverse ridge behind the pin hole, then a rounded lobe containing a copper-alloy rivet with separate square backplate made from copper-alloy sheet. A long narrow bar, D-shaped in cross-section, runs to a terminal lobe (this time drop-shaped) with a second similar rivet and backplate. This buckle is 13th or 14th century in date and from a spur; it is slightly curved along its length, to fit around the ankle. Length 43 mm, width of frame 14 mm.
