Description: | Incomplete late medieval copper alloy locking buckle, missing its locking arm and tongue tip.The frame measures 28.6x17mm (internal 9.1x13.1mm), and inclusive of remains of broken arm, it is 21.3mm wide. The incomplete buckle weighs 8.16g.The rotating axis bar, one end of which extends into the locking arm, is set two thirds from the front/ outside edge of the buckle (where the notch for the pin is). The plate and pin that surrounds this are rather flat.Two examples of these locking buckles are recorded in the London Museum Medieval Catalogue (Ward-Perkins 1940) p.279, plate LXXVII nos.11 and 12. Nick Griffiths thinks these might have some function with medieval purses and date to circa 1500.
