Description: | A copper-alloy buckle frame and pin, probably dating from the Late Medieval period.The frame is trapezoidal, with flat upper surfaces and downward-angling outer faces. The rectangular-sectioned axis bar is located off-centre, being closest to the shorter vertical end. The flattened and tapering wire pin has been loosely looped around the axis bar's central constriction, its point resting on a recessed pin rest, located midway along the vertical outer side of the frame. The flat underside of the buckle exhibits numerous file marks; such marks are also visible on the upper surface, albeit they are confined to the shorter vertical side. The metallic composition of the frame is significantly different from that of the pin.Dimensions: 16.9mm long, 19.8mm wide, 2.1mm thick (frame). Weight: 3.03g.Similar buckles were found in excavations in London (see Egan and Pritchard 1991: 101/fig. 64, nos. 466-470), in layers dating from between the early to mid 14th century and the mid 15th century.
