Description: | Copper alloy Buckle perhaps dating to the 15th century AD. The frame is curved with 6 quarter circle toothed rabbets running along the whole outer edge of each loop and a transverse grooved decoration on the outer edge of each loop. The buckle has a Bifid knop at either end of the strap bar which is missing, set back from the frame. During the 15th century rectangular buckles were manufactured which had highly curved frames. This suggests a specialised function most likely to be used for securing armour. A similar example can be found in Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250-1800. Greenlane Publishing. p.77. The length is 35mm, width 30mm, thickness 5mm, and the weight is 14.42g.
