Description: | A complete cast copper alloy buckle of probable 15th century date. It has circular frame and a central bar. The upper face of the frame is convex and the underside is also convex but is slightly flatter. The narrowed bar is slightly off-set and is sub-circular in cross-section. A flat wire copper alloy pin has a fully enclosing loop and a tapering pin.This buckle is corroded and has traces of a dark-green patina.Buckles similar to these were used in the late-Medieval period for spurs. However, they may have had other uses and also have a wider date range. Diameter: 23.6; thickness: 3.0mm. Weight: 4.20g.Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, 65-66, Fig.40, refs: 214 and 216. Weight: 11.2g.
