Description: | An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy buckle with an integral plate (1250-1450), missing its pin. The integral plate has bent in half, back on itself (to the reverse). It now measures 32.22mm in length but would have originally measured c.46mm.This buckle frame is a single oval loop with ornate outside edge, consisting of four knops (the outer two of which are pointed and project outwards). There is a 2.56mm wide slot for the pin with an offset (and narrowed) bar, behind which is a circular piercing 2.36mm in diameter (for the pin) and behind that another piercing 1.74mm in diameter (for a missing rivet).The integral plate narrows from 8.14mm wide behind the bar to 4.77mm at the opposite end, with a central oval flat swelling 8.54mm wide. The terminal of the plate (9.23mm wide) appears to be bifurcated or perhaps has two worn through rather oval-shaped rivet holes within a figure-of-eight plate.Measures 32.22x17.89mm (internal loop 10.34x11.12mm) and weighs 4.44g.Egan has suggested that this form of Medieval buckle with a cast integral plate could have been used for spurs (Griffiths, D., Philpott, R.A. & Egan, G; 2007, p.102).
