Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle converted into a clasp: oval frame with offset narrowed bar and pin notch, trapezoidal sheet plate with pin slot, frame recesses and single rivet. In place of a pin there is a sheet plate, its end folded around the bar in the same way as a pin. This plate, which is in a paler green patinated alloy and is of almost the same width as the frame, terminates in two small projections leaving an open area between it and the outside edge of the frame. That part of the front face of the frame that lies below the plate has been filed down to accomodate it, so that when closed the plate's top is flush with the outside edge. A most deviant object. Overall length 32mm. Frame 13 x 15mm. Plate 20.5 x 10.8 - 8.5mm. 13th - 14th century.
