Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a central lip and internal notched pin rest. The frame is flat underneath and bevelled on top and has been narrowed at the spacer for the (now missing) pin. In cross-section it is triangular with rounded corners. The spacer has a rectangular aperture next to the frame (W.: 3.15mm expanding to 3.85mm). Neither prong extends very far due to old damage - 6mm and 8.4mm from the frame respectively. The spacer is recessed on both upper and lower surfaces to accommodate the missing plates. The buckle frame and spacer have a dull grey patina overlaid with dusty corrosion product. The longer of the prongs bear some iron staining on both surfaces. The frame and spacer have been filed on the lower surface. The frame is slightly twisted in relation to the spacer. Similar examples of this buckle type can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 78-82) where they are dated to the mid 14th/early 15th century. Buckle frame dimensions - L.: 15.6mm, W.: 21.4mm, Th.: 2.7mm; Spacer dimensions - max. L.: 7.5mm, W.: 14.15mm, recessed Th.: 2.2mm
