Description: | Copper alloy and iron with gildingProbable Buckle. Cast asymmetrical buckle, probably with one oval ended loop and one rectangular; a collared point projects from the former, and is now bent slightly back. The form is unusual and direct parallels have not been encountered, though most asymmetrical buckles are of late medieval or post-medieval date. A mass of ferrous corrosion indicates the loss to corrosion of an iron pin. Tiny spots of relict gilding suggest the buckle was gilded, as might be apt for a spur buckle, a function for which an iron pin would be usefully robust. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1400-1500.Length: 27.6mm, Width: 15.6mm, Thickness (clear of rust): 2.8mm, Weight: 4.04gms.
