Description: | A complete copper alloy locking buckle of Medieval date (c. 1300-1450). The buckle frame is rectangular in plan with a thickened outer edge that has an underside set at an angle of 45° to the plane of the frame, flange on the exterior edge. The sides of the frame between the outer edge and the bar are rectangular in cross-section with the upper edges rising towards the centres. The inner edge of the frame is rectangular in section with a slightly convex inner face. Approximately two-thirds of the way between the outer and inner edges the frame has semi-circular sides that have central circular perforations to accommodate the separately cast locking bar. The bar is 'U'-shaped, and has a sub-spherical terminal. It is hexagonally faceted and narrows towards the terminal. The section of the bar held within the frame is cylindrical. The pin is cast in one piece with a cylindrical section covering the length of the spindle from which projects a long tapering triangular pin. 27.0 x 38.3 x 8.5mm. Weight: 11.23g.Parallels from Norwich (Margeson, 1993, ref: 139) and London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, ref: 445). These indicate a date in the 14th or 15th centuries AD (c. 1300-1450).
