Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle.The frame is sub-oval in plan, extending to a pointed pin rest at the centre of the outer side. The surfaces of the frame slope downwards and outwards. The pin is bent but surivives in situ, looped through a hole at the centre of the frame's inner vertical side. At the back, the frame extends into an integral forked spacer. Both plates survive intact. They are held together by a single copper-alloy rivet, which is located at the centre of their scalloped distal (furthest from the frame) ends. The buckle measures 37mm long, up to 22.8mm wide (frame) and 5.4mm thick. The weight is 6.42g.Examples of buckles with forked spacers have been found in excavations in London, York and Coventry, where the stratigraphic evidence points towards a late 14th to early 16th century date (Griffiths et al 2007: 93).
