Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a slightly pointed outer edge. The narrow wire pin survives in situ, although it has been bent. The prongs of the spacer are triangular and travel further apart from each other as they extend. One has been broken towards the tip. The object is now corroded with a deep green patina. The spacer appears to be recessed to accommodate the missing plates. 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.
