Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy buckle with composite plate of later medieval date. The surviving fragment consists of a section of the oval frame and part of the forked spacer which would have had separate sheets soldered onto the front and back to form the plate. The constricted bar for the missing pin is present. Adjacent to this is half of the thicker rectangular area which would have stood proud of the buckle plate. This arrangement is closest to no. 325 in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories c 1150 - c 1450' (1991, pp. 80-1, fig. 49). The London example dates from the mid-fourteenth to the early fifteenth century.
