Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Medieval rectangular buckle frame. One of the shorter sides is wider than the other and has a transverse groove on the outer edge and a notched pin rest on its upper face. The longer sides are flanged, becoming deeper towards one end. These deeper sections have drilled holes on both sides, which would have held a separate spindle. This is now missing, as is the pin. Three similar examples shown in Whitehead (2003, p.89, no.552-554) have an arm extending from a separate central bar that curves around beyond the frame and would have locked in place using the transverse groove mentioned above. This arm may have been used as a hook to secure personal items such as purses. Whitehead dates these to c.1350-1450 (ibid.).Length: 27.64mm, Width: 17.85mm, Thickness: 6.24mmWeight: 4.48g
