Description: | Copper alloy with gildingBuckle. Cast buckle with integrally cast plate with a hook at the other end (cf Whitehead pages 32-33 nos 181 and 185). A loop with a straight moulded outer edge is integrally cast with a tapered plate with sub-rectangular expansion through which passes a sheet metal rivet of width circa 4mm and length circa 15mmn which is burred behind the plate. The blunt hook, now only lightly curved, is of plano-convex section. Gilding is retained extensively on the display face of the plate. The buckle has been forcefully bent back against the plate and its narrowed pin bar is corroded and has lost the pin. Whitehead identifies such objects as spur buckles designed to be hooked to the leathers, as opposed to those which would be permanently riveted. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1400.Length (as found): 50mm, Height (at loop): 31.2mm, Thickness (plate): 2.1mm, Weight: 10.67gms.
