Description: | Copper alloy buckle with integral plate, dating to the medieval period between 1250-1500. Buckles with integral plates were often used for buckling horse equipment or spurs. This example has an oval frame with a thickened outer edge. The plate has two circular perforations. The pin from the buckle would have gone around the larger perforation at the edge of the loop and the other hole contains an iron rivet which would have attached the buckle to a strap. The buckle has broken into two pieces across the frame. The buckle measures approximately 50mm in length, 26mm in width, 4.25mm in thickness and weighs 12.68g.
