Description: | Remarkable Medieval/Post Medieval buckle with incomplete integral plate. Sub-rectangular frame far wider than long, with triple rib in centre of top and exterior of outside edge. The down-curving end of the cast rectangular section pin rests in a notch in the centre of the ribs. The pin pivots on a spindle through a longitudinal gap in the plate. Twin transverse ribs on the top of the pin align with similar ribs flanking ribs on the bar of the frame. At the rear of the gap for the pin, the plate expands into a collar, behind which project two lugs broken across transverse apertures. Frame 14 x 28.5mm. Average thickness of frame 4.5mm. Overall length >29mm. Width of frame 6.5mm (collar 11.5mm). This must have served some specialised function. A parallel has been noted at North Elmham. Perhaps 15th -17th century.
