Description: | A copper alloy medieval buckle and plate which are 40mm long, 15.4mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The frame is D shaped with an offset and narrowed bar with rounded knops at each end. The plate is rectangular and is folded across the hinges to form two plates. The plates is notched to fit round the frame and there is a slot for the pin, which is missing. There is a rivet through each corner of the front plate and one in the centre. Only three of these survive. The back plate is much smaller than the front and is broken half way along. The front plate has a beaded border and is gilded, as is the frame. A similar plate can be seen on page 111 of Egan and Pritchard (1991) "Dress Accessories". The buckle dates from 1200 - 1400.
