Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy gilded single looped sub-triangular buckle (possible spur buckle?); with a narrowed and offset strap bar, dating to the Medieval period, between AD 1200 - 1400.This buckle is sub-triangular in plan and mostly D-shaped in section. The front of the buckle is decorated with three large protruding cast copper alloy knops, which have been attached and hammered into place like rivets - only two survive. There is a third rivet/ knop hole at the top of the buckle. Additionally, there are extensive areas of gilding on the front of the buckle frame. The pin survives but is it a different colour to the metal of the frame. The back of the buckle is flat and undecorated. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, R, 1996, 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 24, ref no 110.
