Description: | A copper alloy buckle with oval frame 20mm in the longer dimension, with a sharply pointed fore-edge in 13th-14th century fashion. The pin is present and in 18mm long from attachment to fore-edge, tapering from 0.5mm to 0.2mm. The pin attachment is recessed into the in-cast plate at the trailing edge of the frame, to a breadth of 3mm and a depth of 5mm. Behind this the forks of the spacer develop at either side to a thickness of 3mm and a length of 7mm. They are encased, as if in a sleeve, by a folded sheet of metal which is in fact the outer plate or casing of another buckle, pushed onto the prongs of the spacers in reverse, so that the trailing edge of the sleeve is actually the folded over (and centrally cut-away) part of some different buckle.
