Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle frame. A single oval looped frame with forked spacers to take rigid sheet plates (missing). The frame has a point in the middle of the outer edge and a slight notch behind this where the missing pin would have rested. The back of the frame is notched for the attachment of the pin. The proximal ends of the spacers are thickened into transverse ridges with grooves aither side. The inside edges of the spacers are stepped in before they tapes to the distal ends (one end is snapped off). Both spacer arms are bent. G Egan(in Egan a & Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, p 80) states that such compostie buckles seem to have been common in the mid 14th to early 15th centuries.Dimensions: 47.83 mm x 27.94 mm x 4.41 mmWeight: 6.9 g
