Description: | An incomplete, corroded medieval composite buckle (probably) with integral box plate cast in copper alloy. The frame is almost entirely missing, as is half of the junction of frame and plate. At the break is what appears to be a perforation filled with corrosion product; it is assumed that this is a buckle plate and the hole would have held the (missing) pin. The junction is slightly narrowed, and is divided from the box plate by a transverse ridge on the upper surface. The plate itself is trapezoidal in form, widening from a width of 20.0mm at the frame end to 25.05mm at the attachment end. On its lower surface it is recessed for the strap and a thin sheet which is still rivetted in place towards its four corners. On its upper surface the plate is inscribed with letters in 'black letter' script, perhaps 'n's. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 38; ref. 225).
