Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Medieval buckle with composite plate. The buckle frame is larely missing. A small portion remains, joined to a forked spacer, with which it was cast integrally. Two further sub-rectangular sheets of copper-alloy sit over the spacer, one on either side. These appear to have been affixed using three rivets on each - two at the end nearest the frame and one at the other end. All that remains of the frame is a small curved section. Within the side where this joins the spacer is a small recess with a hole on the other side to allow a pin to sit in place. This still remains in situ. The metal is in poor condition and further damage can be seen to the ends of both the plates.A very similar example may be seen in Whitehead (2003, p.36), no.209. This he dates to c.1350-1450 suggesting a similar date for this example.Length: 31.49mm, Width: 16.60mm, Thickness: 4.54mmWeight: 6.80g
