Description: | An incomplete, worn and corroded copper alloy Medieval (1350-1450) composite buckle, missing its pin. It measures 51.21mm in length and 28.68mm in max.width (at the frame). It weighs 18.48g.The object comprises an oval frame with ornate outside edge - a flattish 'roller' projection with a knop to either end - and an intergral forked spacer plate. Traces of the front and back plates remain but are extremely corroded. Iron corrosion at the end opposite to the frame suggests there was an iron rivet in each corner. Further iron corrosion behind the frame suggests the missing pin was also made of iron. The internal measurements of the frame are 14.16x21.30mm. The forked spacer is 17.41mm wide behind the frame and flares to 19.21 at the opposite end.No original patination on the frame now survives.Egan & Pritchard comment, 'These buckles with their distinctive composite plates seem to have been a widespread mid 14th to early 15th century form in this country' (1991; p.80). Cf. Egan & Pritchard 1991 figs.48 and 49, nos.322-330.
