Description: | An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy composite buckle frame with an integral forked spacer (c. AD 1350-c. 1450). The loop is a Meols Type 3.The plates and parts of the spacer are missing.The oval frame is convex at the front and broadly flat at the rear. In cross-section it is 'D'-shaped. At the centre of the outer edge there is a triangular lip. The frame is narrowed adjacent to the spacers to form a small bar, circular in cross-section, for the pin. At this point there is a slot between the prongs to allow the pin loop to rotate. Both prongs are incomplete and the surviving parts are flat at the front and rear, rectangular in cross-section. No file marks are visible on this example and this may be due to corrosion. The pin, including the loop, is convex at the front and flat at the rear.This buckle is corroded green with off-white corrosion products. The breaks are old and abraded.Length: 26.02mm; width: 22.84mm; thickness: 4.34mm. Weight: 4.81g.Similar buckles from London have been published and dated c. 1350-c. 1450 (Egan & Pritchard 1991: 80, fig. 49, refs: 325-330).
