Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of medieval date. All that remains of the buckle is an integral sub-rectangular box plate and waisted collar. The plate is decorated with a series of horizontal incised lines and traces of gilding remain. Two rivet holes are present and infilled with iron corrosion where the strap would have fitted. A hole is present in the collar through which the pin would have been attached though this no longer remains. To either side of the collar the buckle proper has been lost to old breaks.The reverse of the buckle is undecorated and a large portion of the back plate is missing revealing the hollow interior.The metal is a mid blackish-green colour and is worn. The buckle is 33.9mm long, 26.9mm wide, 6.7mm thick and weighs 16.5g.Similar examples can be seen on the database as CORN-D7ECF6 and SUR-CCD3D5.
