Description: | A double oval-framed buckle with an intact plate, probably dating from the mid 13th to early 15th century AD. The frame measures 31.3mm wide by 18.5mm high and 2.7mm thick. It is a dull grey colour and is probably made of lead or a lead-tin alloy. It has a central bar and is pointed each of its two outer edges. One of these points has a recess designed to hold in place the now-missing pin. Wrapped around the central bar is a bent copper-alloy plate. This has been formed from a single sheet of metal. It has a central hole into which the pin would have slotted, and was originally riveted together by a small single rivet at the distal end. Only a trace of this rivet survives. Just above one of the rivet holes is a small circular indentation which appears to be a failed first attempt to make a hole. The folded plate measures 23.2mm long by 12.4mm high and 0.5mm thick. The total dimensions of the object are 37.4mm long by 18.5mm high and 11.2mm thick. It weighs 8.26g.
