Description: | Medieval copper alloy oval frame buckle with composite rigid plates. The frame, pin and plates are all of a different copper alloy composition.The frame has a lip which extends across the outside edge at a slant, presumably to hold the wire pin above it.The sheet plate is held in place with one rivet (in situ) at the middle of the open end - although techincally the opposite end is also open, behind the pin where the top plate abutts to the slight ridge in the forked spacer directly behind the oval frame. The top plate is cut at a slight angle and looks crude.The 'rivet' end of the sheet plate has two V shapes cut in it for decoration, but this is only on the top plate, the bottom plate retains straight edges.The whole is 43.7mm long and weighs 9.05g. The oval frame measures 16.4x21.2mm (internal 11x16.1mm) and the upper sheet plate 24.2x14.5mm (lower 23.5x14.2mm).Examples in Egan 1991 date to the mid-14th to mid-15th century.
