Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a pointed central knop on its outer edge. It is bevelled externally on both faces; these faces feature file marks. The corroded, narrow wire pin is in situ. The prongs of the spacer are triangular and diverge as they extend. One has been broken towards the tip. The object is now corroded with a dark-grey patina with patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The spacer appears to be recessed to accommodate the missing plates. Similar examples of this buckle type can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 78-82) where they are dated to the mid 14th/early 15th century.
