Description: | A corroded and incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy single loop buckle, with oval frame and forked spacers for composite plates. The outside of the buckle frame opposite the strap bar is very slightly extended in a lip. The strap bar has a central gap for the pin, which is flanked on either side by the integral forked spacers prongs. Both prongs are damaged, but these would have originally had the sheet buckle plates soldered onto either side in order to form the composite plate. The pin is missing. The buckle measures 30.07mm long, 22.78mm wide, 3.74mm thick and weighs 4.15 grams. Similar examples can be seen in Whitehead (2003) p 36 which he dates AD 1350-1400.
