Description: | An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy single loop composite buckle with an integral forked spacer (c. 1350-c. 1450). The plates and the pin are missing.The loop is oval in plan, bevelled at the front and flat at the rear. It has a pointed knop at the centre of the outside edge. It does not have a separate pin hole. The tapering prongs, almost parallel at the outer side, are of different lengths and appear to have been made as such. In cross-section, the prongs are rectangular in cross-section throughout their lengths. The object is corroded in places and has traces of a mid to dark green patina. File marks are visible on the front and back of the prongs and loop.Length: 26.9mm; width of loop: 13.6mm; outside width of prongs: 9.1mm; thickness: 1.8mm. Weight: 1.23g.Similar examples from London have been published and dated c. 1350-c. 1450 (Egan & Pritchard 1991: 78-82, fig. 49).
