Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle and plate of 15th century date, c. 1400-1500.The buckle frame has looped lugs to take an axel that connected the buckle frame to the plate. The frame itself is sub-rectangular in section and has two outer lobed curves, with a slight dip in the centre of the outer frame between the curves. The plate has been made from a cut and folded sheet of copper-alloy. The cylindrical lugs would have held the axel for the buckle frame in place, with a rectangular notch for the pin (now missing). A raised line separates the panel from the hinge of the buckle plate, with simple incised hatched decoration. A rivet remains in each corner of the buckle plate. Some leather may survive inside the buckle plate.
