Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle frame and plate, complete with pin. It measures 69mm in length and is widest at the frame, 24.7mm. It weighs 6.89g.The buckle frame is 17.3mm long (internal 10.8x19mm) and the outside edge steeply angled. It has a tiny triangular notch for the pin on the inside/ highest edge. The outside edge is decorated with zig-zags, flanking both long edges. The axis bar is narrowed and offset, with a knop at either end. The sheet metal pin has a tiny horizontal rib to the front, just after where it curls around the axis bar.The upper buckle plate has incurved edges on both long sides, and an incurved edge at the short end opposite to the buckle frame. A groove flanks these edges, following the incurving, and at the fourth (straight) edge, incurving in decoration. On either side are triangular punches, points outwards. The longer edges have an extra line of deeply grooved rocker-arm on the in-most side. Three rivet holes survive, one with a bulbous-headed rivet intact and one surrounded by iron staining (at the furthest end from the frame).The reverse plate is triangular in shape (11.7x20mm) with an additional square of sheet metal c.6x6mm to hold the rivet in place.13th/ 14th century in date.
