Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite buckle of Medieval date. It has an oval shaped frame with a bevelled top and outer edge and a flat reverse. There is a projecting pin rest at the centre of the outer frame which is triangular in plan. The pin is now missing. The back edge of the frame has a circular aperture for the hinge fitting. From this back edge are two projecting forked spacers which fit between two plates which are secured together by a rivet at the terminal. The plates are damaged and do not enclose the spacers. Similar examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 80-81 No. 322-326). These composite buckles date from the 14th to the early 15th century AD. The width of the plate is 14.98mm and the thickness is 4.08mm
