Description: | A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has broken before the lip, with about half now surviving, bent down at this point. The frame is flat underneath and bevelled on the upper surface and has been narrowed at the spacer for the pin. In cross-section the frame is triangular. The pin is missing. Only half of the spacer survives due to the break to the frame mentioned, and a second break at the narrowing for the pin, a natural weak point. It has a sub-rectangular aperture next to the frame (W.: c. 7.3mm), expanding in a stepped fashion, as the prongs become defined. The tip of the extant prong is missing; the prong has been bent upwards at this point. The spacer is slightly recessed on both upper and lower surfaces to accommodate the missing plates. The buckle frame and spacer have a dark-green colour. Similar examples of this buckle type can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 78-82) where they are dated to the mid 14th/early 15th century. Buckle frame dimensions - L.: 13.8mm, W.: 12.0mm, Th.: 2.0mm; Spacer dimensions - W.: 7.3mm, recessed Th.: 2.3mm
