Description: | A single looped oval buckle with integral forked spacer, cast in copper alloy. The buckle plate is missing. Both prongs of the fork are broken. The tapering prongs of the forked spacer has one step cut into the copper alloy, the step is about half way down each prong. This stepping occurs on the inner edges of the fork.The strap bar of the oval buckle is integral to the fork spacer; the two have been cast as one. The pin recess sits in-between the forks of the spacer, on the strap bar. The pin is missing. The artefact is a dark greyish-green colour, the metal is pitted. It probably dates from circa 1300 - 1600. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, pp79 - 81.
