Description: | A complete copper-alloy medieval buckle frame and attached plate, with later repairs. The frame is oval in shape and measures 16.2mm by 13.3mm in size. The outer edge is expanded and the bar is offset and narrowed. A complete copper-alloy wire pin remains in situ attached to the bar via an open loop. The folded sheet buckle plate is rectangular in shape and 25.7mm in length and 11mm in width. It is recessed to accomodate the frame, the pin slot it rectangular in shape. The plate has three rivet holes, two at the terminal end and one at the frame end of the plate. These rivet holes do not have rivets through them, although they would have done originally but have thin copper-alloy wire wrapped around the plate and through the holes. This is a later repair to hold the plate to a damaged or new strap/belt. The front face of the plate is decorated with an incised zigzag boarder. Traces of gilding can be seen on the plate and frame. This buckle is c14th century in date.
