Description: | A copper alloy fragment of a composite buckle (mid 14th - early 15th century). Only a small part of the frame, part of the two forks and the pin are present. The rest of the frame and the two buckle plates are missing. The buckle is broken across the frame where it starts to curve up to form the sides of the frame. The bar has a central constriction to hold the pin in place. From the pin constriction the buckle is stepped three times to form the two forks. There are file marks across the surface of the remains of the two forks. All the broken edges have the same dark green patina as the surface. The pin is complete; it is rectangular in section with the two upper corners beveled so that the pin narrows to form the point (length: 24.12mm). The end of the pin is curled to form a loop around the pin constriction on the bar. A similar composite buckle is no. 330 from London that was dated to the mid 14th - early 15th century (Egan & Pritchard 1993:81). Dimensions: length: 35.57mm; width: 24.29mm; thickness: 5.98mm; weight: 7.23g.
