Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle apparently made from a strap-slide. Rectangular frame with convex sides, outside edge and attachment edge. There are two short internal projections. The outside edge is cast in the form of a stylised king's head longitudinally set with triple-lobed crown and large, angular nose.Sub-rectangular sheet plate with hole for large sheet pin, broken just past fold, front-plate missing, with a single copper alloy rivet at attachment end.The internal projections may be the remains of a broken transverse bar, the breaks made smooth as part of the repair, or the internal projections of a strap-slide. Either the buckle has been repaired, or possibly a strap-slide has been re-used as a buckle.Frame 24 x 19mm. Plate 25 x 11mm. 14th century.Similar to NMS-80EE58, NMS-865B91 and SWYOR-3CBD88.
