Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy buckle and plate (1270-1450). The buckle has an oval frame with a pronounced triangular lip where the pin would rest. The buckle has a square plate attached; the corrosion makes it appear as if the plate is integral to the buckle. Near the inner edge of the plate is a roughly circular perforation for the pin to attach. Within this perforation is a small lump of iron corrosion ?the remains of the pin. There are two copper-alloy rivets (still remaining) one located on each corner of the outer edge of the buckle plate for attachment to a strap. It is similar to nos 306-310 excavated in London dating between 1270-1450 (Egan & Pritchard 1991:75 fig.45). Patches of dull yellow-green glossy patina with rough green surface beneath and underlying that is dull brown base metal. Dimensions: length: 33.77mm; width: 23.54mm; thickness: 5.15mm; weight: 6.99g.
