Description: | Copper alloy buckle and buckle plate. The buckle frame is D-shaped with a narrowed and offset pin bar. The frame is D-shaped in cross-section. The undecorated copper alloy pin is damaged but intact, being bent back over the face of the buckle plate. Tbe buckle plate is flat and possibly in the form of a leaf, however the face of the plate is very worn and no decoration is visible apart from a small patch of gilding. There are two rivet holes at the frame end, and one at the attachment end. There is one bulbous headed copper alloy rivet remaining at the frame end. Sandwiched between the open section of the buckle frame next to the pin, and the buckle plate is a section of fabric. The fabric consists of many small strands of fibre that look like part of a tablet-woven girdle or belt. A number of tablet woven braids, which include a number of girdles, were found in London deposits of the 14th and early 15th centuries (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p48).
