Description: | Copper alloy medieval buckle with integral plate. This type of buckle was used for a variety of purposes including buckling horse equipment and spurs, and personal dress. This type of buckle dates from c.1250-1500. The buckle comprises a sub-round shaped frame with a short tapering plate attached. The buckle frame is widened opposite the pin hole. The pin is intact and is a simple piece of copper alloy bent around the pin hole. There are two copper alloy rivets on the plate where the buckle was probably attached to a strap. The buckle has evidence of gilding on the top surface; this is in a faint zig-zag motif. It measures 45.14mm in length, 17.9mm in width, 5.2mm in thickness and weighs 6.7g. A similar parallel can be seen in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories' p.79; Fig.48; No.320.
