The plate is narrowed from the back of the frame and has an oval pierced hole through which the pin is attached. The pin is D sectioned and tapers to a point. It is attached by hooking the end through the hole and around to the underside of the pin. The integral plate is long and narrow with an arrow-shaped terminal. It is stepped in twice before narrowing into a long strip with a central ridge. There is a circular attachment hole in the second of the stepped sections. The pointed triangular or arrow shaped terminal expands from the strip. It has a circular attachment hole towards the base from which extend two diagonal ridges toe the sides. The whole of the object has a convex front and a flat, undecorated plate. There are a few traces of gilding on the front of the plate.Date: Early Medieval - 13th -14th centuryDimensions: 52.94 mm x 16.99 mm x 1.91 mmWeight: 3.99 gThis is similar to some smaller and less decorative buckles in Egan, G and Pritchard, F, 1991, Dress Accessories, pages 106 - 108
