Description: | Medieval copper alloy incomplete oval buckle frame with composite rigid plate. The arms are missing approximately half their length, old break.The underside of the frame itself is flat and covered in tooling marks, although the frame is actually triangular in section, the outside edge sloping outwards. The frame has a triangular lip but apparantly no notch for the pin.The frame has a small patch of shiny silver metal, possibly tinning - however on the forked spacer there is more evidence of this, presumably solder - in which case could the patch on the frame be from a spill?The forked spacer has a stepped design (Cf Egan 1991 nos.323, 324) but their is no deliberate break on the inside edge of the frame, as there is in these examples. There appears to be a circular hole behind the frame, which has now ?worn into the the stepped cut.Measures 32mm in length, frame itself 22.5mm wide (14.5mm internal). Internal length of frame 10.5mm. Weighs 3.93g.12th/ 14th century.Ref. Egan, G 1991, Dress Accessories, Museum of London/ HMSO, London.
