Description: | A fragmentary cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a central, pointed lip, and corresponding pin notch on the inner surface. The frame is flat underneath and bevelled externally on the upper surface. It is narrowed at the spacer to accommodate the pin. In cross-section the frame is triangular with rounded corners. The pin is missing and the prongs broken where they would have been recessed to take the pair of sheet plates. The spacer has a rectangular aperture next to the frame (W.: 3.2mm). The buckle frame and spacer have a variable mid/dark-green patina. A buckle of similar form and size can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 81; ref. 326) where such buckles are dated to the mid 14th/early 15th century. It is supposed that this object would also have extended to around 60mm in length when complete.
