Description: | A cooper alloy Medieval spur buckle with an integral plate dating from about 1250 - 1400. The frame of the oval buckle is missing but the breaks are worn and patinated. There is a hole for the pin attachment - this has also worn through the to the loop of the buckle. A slight moulding in the form of a transverse ridge decorated the junction between the frame and the integral plate. The plate is rectangular but tapers away from the frame. There is a circular rivet hole near the frame end. At the other end the plate widens into a rectangular area which has the other rivet hole in its centre. The copper alloy rivet survives. The end of the plate is narrower and is a hook which curves forwards. The buckle has been damaged and is now badly bent. The hook is bent backwards and the plate is also bent backwards, so the hook almost touches the reverse of the plate. The metal has a dusty grey and tan patina. Compare examples on page 32 of Whitehead's Buckles.
