Description: | Just incomplete gilded copper alloy medieval buckle plate, frame and pin - the very end of the buckle plate has worn away (possibly after a break) across a rivet hole.The length of the complete object is 32mm (from tip of frame to end of backplate, which extends slightly further than the worn top-plate). The plate is 21mm long, the buckle 13.5mm (with an overlap around the axis bar). The width of the buckle is 16mm.The buckle is D-shaped in section and in shape. The outside edge is rounded and thickens at the centrepoint to 6.5mm wide (3.5mm at the edge). There is no constriction for the pin. The internal measurements of the buckle are 11x7mm.The pin is flat in section, becoming slightly rounded at the point. It is 15mm long, 2.5mm wide where it curls around the axis bar, and appears to be of different copper alloy composition than the rest of the buckle - it is light green in colour; the frame and plate are a more purpley/ darker green.The top-plate is 10.5mm wide where it curls around the axis bar and 9.5mm wide at the opposite end. The backplate is 7.5mm wide where it curls round the axis bar narrowing over 21mm to 5mm. In the backplate are two rivet holes 1mm in diameter. It is slightly off-centre from the top-plate (?twisted somehow) but presumably corresponded with the top-plates two rivet holes, just under 2mm in diameter. A faint incised line flanks the long sides. Gilding is present on the top-plate only and still covers most of it, especially around the rivet holes.12th-14th century.
