Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy probable Medieval buckle with integral plate. Most of the loop of the buckle has been lost but the majority of the plate remains. The plate is tongue-shaped with four circular rivet holes, one at each corner. A fifth hole, for the buckle pin lies between the upper two rivet holes and below the base of the buckle loop. This hole is blocked with ferrous corrosion presumably the remains of the pin. The surface of the plate is in poor condition.Although it has not been possible to find a good parallel for this buckle, based on ones of roughly similar form, although without this arrangement of four rivets, indicate that this buckle is of Medieval date, c.1250-1500.
