Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle with integral plate of medieval date. The buckle measures 53.15mm by 15.25mm by 2.63mm and weighs 4.31g. It has an oval frame, a long narrow plate and a hook attachment at the end of the plate. Adjacent to the frame there are two circular perforations, the first of which is slightly larger and would have accommodated the (missing) pin. At the other end of the plate, beside the hook, there is a further smaller perforation which is in the central of a slightly wider section of the plate. Two similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories' (1991, pp. 78-79, nos. 320-321). An example from the Ashmolean Museum (accession no. 410.1981), also illustrated in 'Dress Accessories', is better preserved with a curved profile and forward curving hook. Buckles of this type may have been used with spurs.
