Description: | A Medieval copper alloy buckle and plate, Meols type 10, dating from the late Fourteenth Century, AD1350-1400. The buckle has pronounced circular knops on the ends of the outer edge, flanked by transverse grooves . The strap bar is narrowed and offset. The pin is missing. The attached buckle plate is sub rectangular and tapers downward slightly. The plate has been bent over the buckle frame to form two plates (the front plate is larger than the back plate) and has a pin slot created by two curled lugs, which hold the buckle frame. One of the lugs has split, which is demarcated by a crack, but it is otherwise intact. The buckle plate has three intact copper alloy rivets with domed heads - two at the open end of the plate and one located centrally. The buckle has medium-light green patina with traces of gilding. For a similar buckle see Meols, pages 84, figure 2.5.1, number 10.Length: 32.5mm; Width: 18.3mm; Thickness: 6.2mm; Weight: 3.56g
