Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of medieval date. The piece represents the centre of a single-loop composite plate buckle of mid 14th to early 15th century AD date (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 80).The frame is D-shaped, has sloping edges and a pointed pin rest at the centre of the outer edge. There are two prongs (the upper one broken), which extend backwards from the frame and would have acted as support for the now-missing plates. Each of these two prongs widens at the end closest to the frame and there is a slot between them into which the slightly damaged tongue-shaped pin is fitted. The position of the enclosed axis bar is marked by a ridge.Overall, the object is slightly bent and corroded. It measures 59.3mm wide by 32mm high and 7.4mm thick. The weight is 10.1g.
