Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The buckle is 38mm long, 19.2mm wide and 5.5mm thick. The oval frame has a slightly pointed outer edge and a projecting knop at the point. The front is bevelled and there is a shallow groove to act as a pi rest. The narrow wire pin survives in situ. The prongs of the spacer are triangular and travel further apart from each other as they extend. The metal is dark grey and was originally tinned. 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. A similar example on the database is HAMP-C5D072.
