Description: | Medieval buckle; cast copper alloy spur buckle of 13th or 14th century date. The buckle frame is of single, oval loop type with an integral buckle plate. The frame has a little knop at the apex of the loop, for the pin to rest on, and there is a hole opposite the knop for the pin. The buckle plate is short, narrow and waisted with a rounded end. There is a single integral copper alloy rivet on the reverse of the buckle plate. The area around the pin hole is crusted over with rust-coloured corrosion product, suggesting that the pin was of an iron-rich metal and that is has now corroded away. The pin is missing.Length 22.4mm, width 11.4mm, thickness (frame) 1.9mm, thickness (with rivet) 7.0mm, weight 1.36gRef: Whitehead 'Buckles; 1250-1800' (pp. 33, no. 189)
