Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle with integral plate of medieval date. The buckle measures 30.75mm by 14.47mm by 3.6mm and weighs 2.81g. The loop is trapezoidal and the plate has curvilinear sides, each with two tapering projections, and a rounded end. There are two perforations in the plate which are filled with iron corrosion. The hole beside the loop presumably accommodated the (missing) pin and the other hole was for a rivet. This buckle probably dates from the later 13th or 14th century AD and may have functioned as a spur buckle (see Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 106-8).
