Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Medieval buckle with composite plate. The buckle frame is larely missing. A small portion remains, joined to a forked spacer, with which it was cast integrally. Two further sub-rectangular sheets of copper-alloy sit over the spacer, one on either side. These appear to have been affixed using three rivets on each - two at the end nearest the frame and one at the other end. All that remains of the frame is a small curved section. Within the side where this joins the spacer is a small recess with a hole on the other side to allow a pin to sit in place. This still remains in situ. The metal is in poor condition and further damage can be seen to the ends of both the plates.
A very similar example may be seen in Whitehead (2003, p.36), no.209. This he dates to c.1350-1450 suggesting a similar date for this example.
