Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Late Medieval buckle frame with integral hollow plate, missing most of the frame, the pin and backplate. It measures 27.89mm in incomplete length and 20.23mm in max.width at the open end. It is 3.71mm thick and weighs 9.10g.All that survives of the frame is the bar (19.94mm in height) where it joins the plate. It is crescentic in shape and decorated with two longitudinal grooves, across which at the centre is a 2.76mm diameter piercing for the pin. Behind this the frame narrows to 11.65mm before widening again to the plate, 18.37mm in height.The plate widens over 19.19mm to 20.23mm (max width) at the open end. At the narrower end are two longitudinal ribs with a groove between. The remainder of the plate has decoration which is now obscured by corrosion, but possibly represents a creature, perhaps a dragon or wyvern. There are four rivets holes, one in each corner, and three are in situ. Of these, two are copper alloy while the third is iron. To the reverse, the plate is hollow and 2.17mm thick. The edges are c.4mm high.15th century in date and possibly similar to WILT-E515B5 when complete.
