Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment probably from a locking buckle of later medieval or early post medieval date (1450-1600). The fragment consists of a small sub-rectangular bar with a clear deliberate bend. Both edges are broken; this damage is unpatinated and relatively recent. The bar itself is an irregular hexagonal shape in cross-section (with distinct faceted edges): it tapers along its length. There is no decoration present, however there are deep file marks present on several of the surfaces. The fragment is a mid green colour with a polished patina which coves all surfaces. Similar locking arm buckles can be seen in Egan 2005 Material Culture in London in the Age of Transition pp 37-38 cat no. 116-117. These are dated to the 16th century. The fragment measures 34.0mm long, 4.9mm maximum width across bar (3.6mm at the opposite terminal), is 4.8mm thick (4.2mm thick across the other terminal). It weighs 5.21 grams
