Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Medieval date (1250-1400).The buckle is convex at the front and flat at the rear. It has a single loop, sub-circular in plan and has an integral plate terminating with a transverse break. The break has occurred through a circular rivet hole. Mid-way between the break and the edge of the loop there is a circular pin hole retaining the copper alloy pin. The pin has a convex top and a flat underside and tapers to a sharp point.The buckle frame and pin are both covered in light green copper alloy corrosion products.19.3 x 12.2 x 3.9mm. Weight: 1.11g.Whitehead (1996 'Buckles 1250-1800'. 32-35) describes and illustrates spur buckles of a similar design (for comparison. See, in particular, no. 177). Whitehead dates these buckles 1250-1400.
