Description: | A Medieval buckle of D shape. The straight side of the frame consists of a thin bar of uneven proportions, one end thicker than the other, with a central protuberance. A pin is attached to the bar by a simple hook. It has a rudimentary collar stamped with circular punches and is accommodated by a grooved pin-rest on the curved part of the frame. At either side of the pin-bar there is a rounded terminal also decorated with circular punches.The buckle is silver and dates from the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.Dimensions: length 20 mm, width 16 mm.J P Robinson
