Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1200-1500) copper alloy single-loop rectangular buckle frame, complete with plate but missing the pin. The frame is bent backwards onto the plate. The object measures 20.04x27.28x7.14mm, but individually the frame measures 17.50x27.28mm and the plate 20.24x21.43mm. The object weighs 6.8g.The inside of the frame is largely obscured by the plate and active copper alloy corrosion. It inside measurements however are c.10mm x 21.50mm. The frame is faceted on the outside edge, apparently pentagonal in cross-section. Filing marks are also visible.The plate is possibly incomplete though originally rectangular, now with jagged edges and corrosions on both faces. It is a different copper alloy to the frame, being lighter and greener in colour. It is c.1mm thick and bends around the axis bar, with a rectangular aperture for the pin, and is narrower at this point (c.20mm high). There is no rivet apparent and the shorter 'backplate' bends upwards at its jagged break.
