Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle, probably of mid 14th to early 15th century date The buckle is of oval framed type with composite rigid plates and is near complete but has lost the two sheet plates and the end of one fork, the pin is also unlikely to be original. The buckle has an overall length of 41.31mm and a maximum width across the frame of 22.59mm. The frame is of quadrangular faceted section with a thickness of 2.87mm. The outside edge of the frame has a pointed lip. The bar is continuous with the inside edge of the frame (not off-set). The position where the plates met the frame is marked with a slight step to the forked spacer. The rear of the forked spacer displays the remnants of a pale coloured adhesive. The pin comprises a thin wire (0.8mm diameter) crudely bent around the bar. The buckle weighs 5.0g and has good surface preservation with a dark brown patina and displays file marks from the manufacture.
