Description: | Medieval copper alloy composite buckle. Oval frame with projecting triangular lip with pin notch, bevelled outer edge and integral forked spacer. The shape of the spacer is partly hidden by the front and back plates. The plates were probably attached by solder and have shifted slightly covering the pin bar. The pin is missing. The front and back plates are plain with stright sides and a straight end by the loop, the other end has two triangular notches in it on both plates giving a zig-zag end. The most complete plate is 20.6mm long by 11.7mm wide and 0.3mm thick. The forks of the spacer are visible at the ends, possibly due to the plates shifting. The spacers are 24.0mm long measured from the frame. The frame is 16.0mm long by 18.8mm wide by 1.9mm thick and the buckle and spacer forks are 39.8mm in total lengh. The overall weight is 6.04 grams.Egan and Pritchard (1991), p.78-9, fig.48 illstrate similar examples, which they date to the second half of 14 century AD to early 15th century. WILT-54FDC4 on this database is also similar with the same zig zag end to the plates.
